[edit] Personal Growth

Awareness

Work Attitude

Developing Skills

Personal growth is a process of individual's development with others. At the level of the individual, personal growth includes goals, plans or actions oriented towards one or more of the aims:



Improving Self-Awareness (People awareness programs)

Improving Self-Knowledge (knowledge sharing)

Building or Renewing Identity (Speeach by Manager or other top leaders)

Developing Strengths or Talents (games and activities)

Identifying or Improving Potential (quizes and tests)

Building Employability or Human Capital (Interaction with other department, what other things of the company)

Enhancing Lifestyle or the Quality of Life (Family get together)

Fulfilling Aspirations (Appereations letter)

Defining and Executing Personal Development Plans (PDP) (Give place to employee's Ideas)

Improving Social Abilities (Social and interaction with other culture of the environment)

At the level of self-improvement one can potentially elaborate personal development to include such areas as:



1.Becoming the person one aspires to be

2.Integrating social identity with self-identification

3.Increasing awareness or defining of one’s priorities

4.Increasing awareness or defining of one’s values

5.Increasing awareness or defining of one’s chosen lifestyle

6.Increasing awareness or defining of one’s ethics

7.Strategizing and realizing dreams, aspirations, career and lifestyle priorities

8.Developing professional potential

9.Developing talents

10.Developing individual competencies

11.Learning on the job

12.Improving the quality of lifestyle (in such areas as health, wealth, culture, family, friends and communities)

13.Learning techniques or methods to expand awareness

14.Learning techniques or methods to gain control of one's life

15.Learning techniques or methods to achieve wisdom

A value is a belief, a mission, or a philosophy that is meaningful. Whether we are consciously aware of them or not, every individual has a core set of personal values. Values can range from the commonplace, such as the belief in hard work and punctuality, to the more psychological, such as self-reliance, concern for others, and harmony of purpose.



The key point to keep in mind about values is that implementing them energizes everything concerned with it. For an individual, committing to and applying values releases fresh energies, which always attract success, achievement, and well-being. Likewise, when companies or other institutions adopt values, individuals working at the organization become energized, as do its customers, its products and services, and everyone and everything else associated with that organization.



You need to have a self improvement plan and a system for your personal development and growth. And then take consistent and continuous actions.



When you know in which direction you want to go, you will work on yourself, do all that you can and do your best. This is self help. And you will change and grow.



Ask yourself these few questions.

Do you like where you are and what you have become?

Have you ever wished that your life was better?

Is your relationships with others working the way you want it to be?

Are you producing the results that you want?

What makes you feel good?

Why do you do what you do?

What have you been telling yourself about you?

How do you go from here to where you want to be?

When you begin to ask yourself these types of questions, you will start looking for the answers within you. And your journey to heal, improve and grow will begin.



You can choose to grow, learn, become the person you aspire, and master your life. Or you can choose to stagnate, to hesitate, and remain fearful and doubtful and live in mediocrity.



You are responsible for your improvements and success as well as your frustrations and lack of progress.



I'll assist you the best I can in helping you find the answers. These are my point of views.



You decide what's useful. It's up to you to choose what's valuable and important.



"We can never really change someone; people must change themselves. But we can help. We can be a resource." - Stephen R. Covey



[edit] Professional Growth

As a part of every staff member’s annual performance review, it is important to discuss professional development for the coming year. Each staff member has a desire to grow and develop, and it is the responsibility of their supervisor to support them in the accomplishment of this goal. Valuable staff members with a desire to grow and learn are an asset to the University and promote workplace productivity and increase morale for the entire workgroup. There are many ways to support your staff member in their professional development and career goals. What is important is to take time to listen to your direct reports on an ongoing basis. Then, whenever possible, be flexible in your potential response to their needs. While many individuals are interested in promotional opportunities, others may want a chance to learn new skills, seek new project challenges, or coach and mentor others. One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to rewarding staff members, so try to match the reward to the person’s particular interest and need. If you have a staff member interested in promotional opportunities, it is important to be clear about what opportunities may be possible within your unit. Be honest about what you can or cannot do for the staff member. An open “I don’t know but we can find out the answer together” is better than a tacit “no”. Professional Development resources that help you be your best professionally. The best teachers are reflective, always striving to better themselves and their practices. Here's what you need to know to take your teaching to the next level!



Evaluation of a professional development program has two important goals: to improve the quality of the program, and to determine its overall effectiveness. Evaluation that is used to modify or improve a professional development program is called formative evaluation. Formative evaluation is done at intervals during a professional development program. Participants are asked for feedback and comments, which enable the staff developers to make mid-course corrections and do fine-tuning to improve the quality of the program. Formative evaluation helps ensure that each professional development program meets the participants' needs and expectations, is a meaningful experience, and can be translated into action in the classroom. Some staff developers use formative evaluation on a daily basis during their programs.



The first level of summative evaluation is to assess the changes in the educators as a result of participating in the professional development program. Participants are asked to describe changes in how they think, what they believe, and what they do in the classroom (Guskey & Sparks, 1991a). They describe their own professional growth and evaluate the program in meeting their personal and professional goals. Such changes in participants can be determined through questionnaires, observations, interviews, self-assessment instruments, and analysis of records (such as minutes of faculty meetings) (Guskey & Sparks, 1991b). The second level of summative evaluation is to assess the ways in which the school organization has changed. This assessment is critical because research shows that organizational climate and culture strongly influence both initial and continued use of innovation (Joyce, 1990). Professional development efforts will have a greater impact on student outcomes if the organizational culture provides ongoing support for such efforts. Showers (quoted in Asayesh, 1993) describes the component of organizational change that accompanies effective professional development: "[Effective professional development is] intensive enough to allow people to develop new knowledge and skills. And it has a component in the workplace as well as in the training environment. Somehow there's a support system that follows teachers into the workplace and either provides continuing training or some kind of structure enabling teachers to continue solving problems in the workplace."



[edit] Social Growth

Social growth means maturing and develping one's social skills--that is learning better how to get along with others. Social growth can be seen in how an individual gets along one-on-one or with a group of people. Social growth can be developed by interacting with one's family and friends, seeking help from a psychologist or a trusted friend or family member. Social growth can also be developed by joining a group, church, interacting with friends at school and sharing a hobby with another. Economic development is the increase in the standard of living in a nation's population with sustained growth from a simple, low-income economy to a modern, high-income economy.[1][2] Its scope includes the process and policies by which a nation improves the economic, political, and social well-being of its people.[3]



Economic development refers to social and technological progress. It implies a change in the way goods and services are produced, not merely an increase in production achieved using the old methods of production on a wider scale. Economic growth implies only an increase in quantitative output; it may or may not involve development. Economic growth is often measured by rate of change of gross domestic product (eg., percent GDP increase per year.)[10] Gross domestic product is the aggregate value-added by the economic activity within a country's borders. Economic development typically involves improvements in a variety of indicators such as literacy rates, life expectancy, and poverty rates. GDP does not take into account other aspects such as leisure time, environmental quality, freedom, or social justice; alternative measures of economic wellbeing have been proposed (more). Most of the developing countries emphasize social well-being of the masses nowadays. Consequently, the problem faced by their policy makers is to increase the social benefit of the masses without hindering the economic growth of the country. This raises the question whether a country should try to improve social development, as it is measured by social indicators, or concentrate solely on economic growth and leave the question of basic needs of the public to take care of themselves. The literature on development economics evidences that the research on the relationship between social development and economic growth has taken at least four different strands: (i) that social development is a product of economic growth; (ii) that economic growth and social development are two unrelated events; (iii) that neither social development nor economic growth is a primary cause of the other, but they are inter dependent; (iv) that social development precedes economic growth. Hierarchy of learning Social development consists of two interrelated aspects – learning and application. Society discovers better ways to fulfill its aspirations and it develops organizational mechanisms to express that knowledge to achieve its social and economic goals. The process of discovery expands human consciousness. The process of application enhances social organization. Society develops in response to the contact and interaction between human beings and their material, social and intellectual environment. The incursion of external threats, the pressure of physical and social conditions, the mysteries of physical nature and complexities of human behavior prompt humanity to experiment, create and innovate. The experience resulting from these contacts leads to learning on three different levels of our existence. At the physical level, it enhances our control over material processes. At the social level, it enhances our capacity for effective interaction between people at greater and greater speeds and distances. At the mental level, it enhances our knowledge. While the learning process takes place simultaneously on all these planes, there is a natural progression from physical experience to mental understanding. Historically, society has developed by a trial and error process of physical experimentation, not unlike the way children learn through a constant process of physical exploration, testing and even tasting. Physically, this process leads to the acquisition of new physical skills that enable individuals to utilize their energies more efficiently and effectively. Socially, it leads to the learning and mastery of organizational skills, vital attitudes, systems and institutions that enable people to manage their interactions with other people and other societies more effectively. Mentally, it leads to organization of facts as information and interpretation of information as thought. The outcome of this learning process is the organization of physical skills, social systems, and information, which are then utilized to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of human activities. It is a cyclical process in which people are continuously learning from past experiences and then applying that learning in new activities. This learning process culminates in a higher level of mental effort to extract the essence and common principles or ideas from society’s organized physical experiences, social interactions and accumulated information and to synthesize them as conceptual knowledge. This abstract conceptual knowledge has the greatest capacity for generalization and application in other fields, times and places. The conceptual mind is the highest, most conscious human faculty. Conceptual knowledge is the organization of ideas by the power of mind. That conceptual knowledge becomes most powerful when it is organized into a system. Theory is a systematic organization of knowledge. A comprehensive theory of social development would provide a conceptual framework for discovering the underlying principles common to the development process in different fields of activity, countries and periods. It would also provide a framework for understanding the relationships between the accumulated knowledge generated by many different disciplines. If pursued to its logical conclusions, it would lead to not just a theory of social development, but a unifying theory of knowledge—which does not yet exist in any field of science or art.



[edit] Technical Growth

Technical Growth



The ability to improve ones technical skills directly reflects the increasing demand put on educators today. The particular technologies involved in improving these skills are vital to the advancement of teaching and learning in education for the 21st century (Harris, 2006).



My technical expertise has grown through the use of various applications and web resources that I experienced for the first time in this program. Adobe Acrobat has made it easier for me to become an improved responsive professional, both at my workplace and with my cadre. “Don’t Make Me Think” (Krug, 2006) illustrated how to keep web organization simple and meaningful. Notebook software from Circus Ponies has been instrumental in keeping my assignments and projects organized. The introduction of Gizmo conference calling was a great eye-opener in seeing how to orchestrate an online oral conversation. Purchasing my own domain and seeing how cost-effective it is gave me the confidence to purchase a domain specifically for my GLP in hopes of continuing the project well into the future (Hahn, 2002). Analyzing a district technology plan gave me the experience I need in understanding the details associated with fleet and fiscal management of technology in education.



My technical growth throughout this program enlightened me to a broader world of technology and infused within me the drive to explore more of the tools available for me as a student and an educator (Bacer, 2007).



As the key to maintain and strengthen the continuous competitive advantage of enterprises, technological capability (thereafter abbreviated as TC) is the deep-seated soil and fundamental source of enterprise competence. However, the practices demonstrate there isn’t any enterprise that develops into giant company in our country with globally competitive power, global market, global trademark of fame and global purchases, which makes how to develop enterprise technological capability (thereafter abbreviated as ETC) become the foremost issue to be tackled without delay in both the theoretical and practical areas during the competition wave of international economic integration. Hence, this paper tries to probe into the cumulative mechanism, and expects to provide certain reference for searching for the upgrading path of ETC in our country by studying dynamically the growth track of TC.
