Simulations for Assessment, Training, and Development

This manual contains four sets of job simulation exercises, each comprising a number of activities that can be run in sequence or as stand-alone sessions. The simulations can be used for assessment centers or for training. For assessment purposes, there are two optional competence frameworks: managerial and professional.

 

Each activity works as follows:

 

1)   Participants are required to analyze information about the situation and prepare to support a specific, allocated project at a meeting;

2)   Then, working as teams, the participants share information, choose one of the projects, and select project team members;

3)   The teams are given more information so they can prepare a project plan, including a cash flow forecast;

4)    Finally, each team is expected to manage the project remotely, dealing with various problems that arise as the simulation unfolds.

 

The simulations are “coded” for certain types:

 

1)   Recommendation—Meetings where participants have conflicting aims

2)   Contingency—Activities where interruptions must be handled

3)   Planning—Activities where participants must prepare plans

4)   Combined—Recommendations, Planning, and Contingency activities being run in sequence

Trainer's Assessment of Proficiency (TAP) Profile DVD Kit

Other than the evaluation sheets that participants turn in at the end of a training session, most instructors get very little feedback on how they are doing and where they can improve. But, their growth and development depend on more than the reactions of their learners. Professional expertise and established standards for classroom performance should be applied.

That's why TAP was created. It measures an instructor's relative strengths on key skills, generating a Proficiency Profile that pinpoints developmental needs and defines the competencies critical to the effective delivery of training. TAP is a three-hour video-based program for instructors and course designers to assess 12 key instructional skills, identify needs and opportunities, and form Individual Development Plans.

The 12 Competencies

  • Assessing Needs and Entering Behavior
  • Analyzing Participants and Situations
  • Applying Classroom Facilitation Skills
  • Maintaining Adult Relationships
  • Building toward Transfer Training
  • Managing Classroom Time Effectively
  • Setting Objectives and Terminal Behavior
  • Eliciting Relevant Responses and Testing
  • Forming Questions and Probes Effectively
  • Giving Feedback and Reinforcement
  • Getting All Learners to Participate
  • Displaying Good Flow, Logic, and Organization

The Complete TAP Package includes:

One Facilitator's Guide with:

  • One DVD containing a class in session and a discussion and critique by Dr. Scott Parry
  • How to administer TAP booklet containing guidelines for running the TAP program
  • The video script for analysis
  • Handouts of Scoring Your TAP Responses
  • One Participant Workbook with Scoring Guide, Response Sheet, The Feedback and Critique portion of the script, and Individual Development Plan

Personal Stress & Well-being Assessment: Facilitator's Guide

Understanding the nature of stress at a detailed level is the basis upon which we can start to manage it effectively. The Personal Stress and Well-being Assessment provides a simple but thorough process by which we can better understand our own stress handling skills.

The Facilitator's Guide for this assessment contains sets of coaching tips for each stress behavior or factor, enabling participants to improve their stress profiles wherever they have development needs. A workshop outline reviews each competency and includes guidance on leading discussions.

The Personal Stress and Well Being assessment provides scores on 7 competencies that impact personal stress levels:

  • Predisposition (Do you put yourself under pressure?)
  • Physical Fitness (Do you actively manage your physical condition?)
  • Nutrition and Diet (Do you influence your eating choices to eat healthier?)
  • Personal Well-being (Do you avoid practices that are bad for your body?)
  • Emotional Balance (Are you in emotional balance most of the time?)
  • Emotional Habits and Control (Can you control your emotions?)
  • Work Life (Do you manage and control your work or does it control you?)

This self scoring assessment enables you to identify specific behaviors and competencies that may be contributing to higher stress levels for you. There are recommendations for action that low scorers can take to reduce their stress.

Teambuilding Effectiveness Facilitator's Guide

This instrument looks at the ability to effectively build a team using the Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing model. It is critical to understand the stages through which a typical team will travel over time. Within these stages seven categories of teambuilding competency can be derived.

When individuals or organizations face significant situations or challenges, one of the first priorities is to understand the issues involved and to work out what needs to be done. In many cases, we do not need any formal assistance to help this process and can think our way through the steps that seem to be most appropriate. However, on occasion the issues or the problems may not be entirely clear and a structured approach can help considerably.

This program's diagnostic assessment is simple and easy-to-use and its comprehensive profile helps participants understand their skills or the situations they face more effectively.
