Information Support System

The Navy has an impressive record in the application of instructional technology to the design, development, and delivery of training. An information support system is being designed within the Naval Education and Training Command to optimize the application of instructional technology, resulting in increased efficiencies in training, personnel utilization, and professional development for the Navy enlisted force. The Naval Enlisted Professional Development Support System (NEPDISS) will be based upon specific tasks performed by enlisted personnel and will display a complete audit trail from job requirements to subsequent appraisal of task performance on the job. Inherently, it will furnish objectively derived data upon which management and enlisted man alike can base decisions.

By converting all-day primary schools of suburban and urban areas in Greece into schools that implement the Comprehensive Reformed Educational Programme (CREP), a set of innovations were implemented, significantly altering the Greek school. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of selected variables over concerns of teachers who work at such schools. Additionally, this research asked the teachers to identify the professional development support and interventions required to enable them to make better use of the Book-reading Advancement (Philanagnosia) Activities innovation. Teachers’ administrative and pedagogical guidance executives, based on the above, will design the necessary interventions to positively address teachers’ concerns and implement the specific innovation in the most effective manner. Overall, the study found that higher teacher concerns were task related, with a significant record of information and self-concerns, which may indicate that the introduction of the innovation was not properly designed to address teachers’ primary concerns.

Objective: The National Research Mentor­ing Network (NRMN) is a strategic partner­ship whose goals include remedying docu­mented disparities by race and ethnicity in the awarding of National Institutes of Health research grants. Our objectives were to offer a profile of early-career investigators who applied to NRMN’s Grantsmanship Coach­ing Programs (GCP) and test for differences in the research productivity, professional obligations, research resources, and motiva­tions of applicants from underrepresented groups (URGs) compared with applicants from well-represented groups (WRGs). We also evaluated how employment at a minority serving institution (MSI) influenced access to research resources and profes­sional obligations.Participants: 880 investigators who submit­ted online applications to join an NRMN GCP between August 1, 2015 and February 1, 2018.Methods: We used two-sample tests of pro­portions and logistic regression to explore differences in applicants’ characteristics and local research environment by group (URG vs WRG) and institution type (MSI vs Other).Results: URG and WRG applicants did not differ in grant application submission history. However, URG applicants had published fewer articles than WRG peers (9.8 vs 15.3, P<.001) and fewer articles as first/last author (4.4 vs 6.9, P<.001). URG appli­cants reported less access to core facilities to conduct research (74% vs 81%, P<.05). Investigators at MSIs reported less access to collaborators (P<.01) and departmental colleagues with federal funding (P<.001) and spent less time on conducting research (P<.001). URGs were more motivated to seek professional development support to expand their peer networks (P<.05) and advance their careers (P<.001).Conclusions: Our findings identified several points of intervention to help applicants from URGs to improve their future chances of obtaining competitive funding.Ethn Dis. 2019;29(Suppl 1): 123-128; doi:10.18865/ed.29.S1.123.

And Training

Just as we have re-imagined every aspect of the educational experience, Minerva’s Professional Development Agency takes what universities call Career Services to a whole new level. The goal of the Agency is to improve the career trajectory for those who are and have been students, both while in school and for the rest of their lives. This chapter focuses on the initial vision and strategy for the agency model, and then explains how the Agency is structured into three distinct areas: coaching and advising, employer network and job placement, and ongoing professional development support by providing opportunities and training for exposure on public platforms.
