Identify and Plan for Guidance Program Change. Module CG A-1 of Category A--Guidance Program Planning. Competency-Based Career Guidance Modules.
Mitchell, Anita M.; And Others
This module is intended to help guidance personnel in a variety of educational and agency settings develop the competencies needed to determine whether changes are needed in the career guidance program in their agencies, to develop a rationale for identifying needed changes, and to develop strategies for change. The module is one of a series of competency-based guidance program training packages focusing upon specific professional and paraprofessional competencies of guidance personnel. Patterned after the Performance Based Teacher Education Modules developed at the National Center for Research in Vocational Education, the modules teach competencies for planning, supporting, implementing, operating, and evaluating guidance programs. The module follows a standard format that includes the following components: (1) an introduction that gives the user an overview of the purpose and content of the module; (2) a section that provides information about the module goal and a list of the competencies covered in the module; (3) a reading containing information on each of the competencies; (4) learning experiences consisting of an individual activity, individual feedback, and a group activity; (5) evaluation techniques that can be used to measure what workshop participants need prior to training and what they have accomplished through training; and (6) an annotated list of resources.
