The first training method that will be used is an apprenticeship. An apprenticeship is a training method that is usually longer than other training methods because it fuses classroom training and on-the- job experience. Classroom training provides the trainee with the fundamental knowledge that they need to perform the job. For instance, all the assessment methods and the diagnostic tools are what a school psychologist is required to know before they attempt to assess or diagnose a client. On-the job training, on the other hand, is training that is obtained in the actual workplace supervised by a professional. On-the-job training is highly associated with imperative knowledge as it exercises hands-on training, rather than classroom learning. During this portion of training the trainee will either be practicing assessment administration or client diagnoses with a mentor to help and supervise their …show more content…
After the completion of this 2 year training program, all former trainees will be given a short survey to measure their opinion on this training program. The purpose of this survey is to measure their reactions to this training program. The short survey will contain 3 questions that will be measured on a 4-point Likert scale, (1=Strongly Disagree) to (4= Strongly Agree). These statements will appear as the following: “I find this training program to be enjoyable”, “I am very satisfied with what I have learned”, “I feel very motivated by this training program.” Next, all former trainees will receive a 200 question multiple choice cumulative exam to measure whether or not they learned the material effectively. In order to demonstrate that they have retained the information learned, former trainees must score at least an 80% or higher. In other words, they need to get 160 questions correct in order to consider this training program to be successful in content learning. A sample question for this exam would be the following, “Select the best answer that accurately describes assessment procedures?” The last day of on-the job-training, all mentors will rate their trainee’s performance on a 3-point Likert scale, (1=Did Not Master Task) to (3=Mastered Task). This mentor survey would include statements such as, “My

Due to the specializations apparent infancy and lack of defined procedure, the importance of the APA Code of Ethics is vital to maintaining a high level of professionalism.

The exam was a fair evaluation of our ability to retain the knowledge we are required to know. With the
Their Struggle is Real Students sat in straight long rows as I gently placed a diagnostic assessment on their desk. As I continued placing the diagnostic assessment on each desk, I listened to the moans and groans of my students who resented the assessment. I could hear the females in my classroom sucking their teeth in disappointment, the males mumbling “Wait we Have an Essay”!.I looked out the corner of my eye watching students put their head down. Many students either stared blankly at their assessments with a look of confusion on their face, while other students raised their hand waiting to be called. Before I assisted any of my students, I explained the directions and the purpose of a diagnostic assessment.

After reading the text it is clear that assessment is a part of counseling. According to our text assessment should be applied through out the counseling process. We must begin by initially assessing the client’s problem(s). This simply means that we must use both formal and informal assessment to get a good and accurate understanding of the individual’s problem. I believe that this is the most crucial part of assessment in the counseling process because if you do not have an accurate understanding of the problem it will negatively impact your counseling.
Four separate tests composed of 25 questions each were developed based on ten key learning components. Four scoring methods were evaluated including one that used a unique measure of confidence. The confidence measurement assessed how confident the trainee was with answers given.
What questions or concerns remain unanswered regarding the FSO training? Rationale for One Minute CAT I chose to use the One Minute CAT since it is the current type of assessment that my organization (ICCU) has in place for gathering data on training. It is also a commonly used type of assessment that is easy to create and easy to interpret the feedback. My organization
Some Where I Wouldn’t Like to Be Larned State Hospital, an institute that houses a combination of civilly committed patients, Department of Corrections inmates, and sexual predators. I have worked with all of them. Recalling when I first started at the state it was wonderful. The pay was phenomenal, employees received health benefits, on the job training, my hired schedule fit in with my family, and I reaped the benefits of helping very sick individuals. Things change though, the job that was once so enriching to me transformed into my seventh realm of hell.
There are many questions and concerns around training evaluations such as are they necessary, what is the purpose, are trainees or the organization benefitting, is the cost too much, and are the trainer doing what they supposed to be doing? There are several types of training evaluations that leadership for a financial industry can choose from. These training evaluations are formative and summative. “Formative evaluation is an on-going process that allows for feedback to be implemented during a program cycle. Formative evaluations concentrate on examining and changing processes as they occur, provide timely feedback about program services, and allow you to make program adjustments “on the fly” to help achieve program goals.
