Organizational Communication: Power, Politics, and Diversity (Instructor Guide) |
0.75 |
Power is the ability to influence someone to do something that they would not do without encouragement. Various types of power and power strategies depend on the level of influence. The existence of different levels of power in an organization gives rise to organizational politics.
Politics can arise between individuals who differ from each another. To avoid confrontation arising from differences, it is important for people to recognize the benefits of diversity within their organization.
In this course you will learn to: identify different levels and types of power, identify strategies to manage diversity and to communicate in different cultures, and identify the steps and guidelines for empowerment.

Sharing Information with Parents and Other Professionals |
2.00 |
School-age children work on many important developmental tasks during their out-of-school hours. One of the important responsibilities of OST staff is to help parents stay in touch with how their children are growing and developing during program hours. In addition to parents, professionals who work with children in other settings are often interested in learning how children spend their time when they are not at home or school.
Portfolios are excellent tools for bringing children’s experiences in OST programs to life for parents during planned parent conferences. They are also valuable tools for sharing helpful information about children with other professionals. |

Organizational Communication: Innovation and Change (Instructor Guide) |
1.00 |
Innovation is a new idea or process that can change the way organizations operate or think. For an idea or process to be considered an innovation, the majority of people who hear about it must consider it new. Implementation of an idea is not necessary for it to be considered an innovation.
Innovation and change are closely related. When an innovation is adopted, it becomes a change. On the other hand, not all change is innovation. If an innovation is rejected after being adopted, the return to the previous method is not an innovation.
In this course you will learn to: identify degrees and characteristics of innovation, and adopt and encourage innovation, and identify the aspects of change.
