Yet, in far too many organizations, program planning activities are assigned without regard to sound practice or to the essential competencies necessary -- and valuable time, money, and effort are wasted.Beyond Instruction offers a comprehensive overview of the program planning process for both new and experienced \"directors of learning\" in business, education, and other organizational settings. The book outlines a systematic planning process that analyzes emerging planner roles in business and education, and offers guidance for the full range of planning tasks -- including assessing needs, setting goals, monitoring effectiveness, supervising instructors, budgeting, promoting, and recruiting.Drawing on both the authors' own research and the classic models of Houle, Knowles, Boyle, and Nadler, Beyond Instruction provides both a how-to manual for those new to the field and a reference for experienced trainers and educators.
