Project Teams: Projects and Project Teams |
1.00 |
A project is a task or a group of tasks with a distinct beginning and end that is undertaken to create a unique product or service. A project must have defined objectives to clearly indicate when the project is complete. In addition, a project must have a clear end user who will use or benefit from the product or service produced by the project team.
When an organization develops temporary needs that are outside the scope of individual employees’ responsibilities, it often forms project teams to address these issues. As a manager, it is your responsibility to recognize the need for a project team, determine the type of team required for the project, and assign employees to the team.
In this course you will learn to: identify the phases and requirements of a successful project, and build and organize a project team and avoid pitfalls in project teams. |

Providing Homework Support |
2.00 |
The National Standard Objectives of Learning (SOL) have raised questions about the role of school-age programs in providing homework help and support. Research indicates there are many different ways to provide effective homework support in school-age programs. Some are more structured than others. When planning a homework support program, it is important for school-age programs to develop a homework philosophy that is consistent with the program’s overall philosophy and reflects current research on best practices for providing homework help. The homework philosophy should also reflect the needs of parents and children in the program and strike a balance between homework needs and other experiences that help children grow and learn out-of-school. When staff know how to design homework environments, identify appropriate homework materials, and use effective strategies to guide children’s efforts, homework support can be an effective component of ongoing programs. |
