Beyond Instruction: Comprehensive Program Planning for Business and Education

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. Rothwell and Cookson outline a systematic planning process that analyzes emerging planner roles 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, Nadler, Beyond Instruction provides both a how-to manual for those new to the field and a reference for experienced trainers and educators.
