LOOKING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
New book explores why you may never think of learning, training, or teaching the same way again
Are you searching for ways to make your training relevant and transferable? Are you looking for more effective ways to implement change in your organization? Are you tired of trying the same old tricks?
In a business world that demands innovation at every turn and fresh ideas that anticipate market needs before they become reality, “earning while learning” is an emerging trend that speaks directly to the changing face of training, facilitating, and coaching in today’s workplace and to the powerful principles of Action Reflection Learning (ARL).
For the first time, co-authors Isabel Rimanoczy and Ernie Turner bring to light the time-tested approach of ARL in their new book,
Action Reflection Learning™:Solving Real Business Problems by Connecting Learning with Earning (Davies-Black Publishing, 2008, $36.95). Providing a hands-on guide to what ARL is, how it works, and what it takes to implement it in any environment, Rimanoczy and Turner reveal how this little-explored practice has been inspiring individuals and transforming organizations for 30 years.
Following the ARL sequence, the authors lead readers on a journey of discovery as they introduce each of the 10 learning principles and 16 elements. Combining stories, journal entries, and narrative case examples drawn from their own experience, Rimanoczy and Turner demonstrate how to apply these methods and techniques to design and implement more effective learning interventions in any number of settings.
Readers’ understanding of this revolutionary approach to learning advances further as the authors provide an inside look at the critical role the Learning Coach plays in unleashing the power of ARL to make one-on-one coaching more effective, help navigate post-merger integration, prepare young talent for the next big challenge, or work with a team of educators in crisis.
Clear and straightforward, detailed and practical, Action Reflection Learning delivers a next-generation approach that will transform the way adult learning takes place—from designing to planning to developing and finally to implementing.
