Given the tremendous importance of keeping up with the explosion of
knowledge in professional fields—from medicine and health to
teaching in schools and colleges – getting the most out of every
learning opportunity is vital to the growth and vitality of our
society, as well as to the development of professional
practitioners themselves. In this concise, practical guide to
improving professional learning and performance, Alan Knox brings
decades of experience and study to bear on 12 key tasks for the
leader of professional learning activities. Illustrated with
examples from a wide variety of learning settings across the
helping professions (e.g., health care, teaching, social work), the
chapters will provide essential guidance to instructors and
facilitators seeking to improve learning activities and thereby
enhance professional performance. The combination of evidence-based
concepts and practical examples is designed to enable readers to
improve the learning activities they lead, and thereby enhance the
performance of learners in their ongoing professional practice.
