Identifying training needs

The financial benefits of training are sometimes hard to demonstrate, and often the

training budget is the first to be reduced instead when spending is under pressure. For

34 this reason, and given that the need for any corporate spending to provide maximum

35 value for money, it is important for the differences between individuals must to be

36 taken into account when considering training requirements. This makes for far more

37 effective training than a programme is based solely on generalisations about staff. After

38 all this, our abilities differ, and variations in previous experience can also play a

39 significant role in learning. Identifying training needs and their capabilities on an

40 individual basis is often carried out in appraisal interviews. In those workplaces where

41 each employee's productivity is measured, such records may be considered during the

42 appraisal, allowing for the possibility that inadequate training can be identified as if the

43 reason for low productivity. Training requirements are also evaluated in such

44 assessment centres, and in which groups of staff are observed while taking part in job

45 simulation activities. Although these are often used to assess potential for promotion, but can also show employees' training needs within their current job.

Students will need【21】all of their language skills in order【22】understand the reading selections in Reader's Choice. The book contains many types of selection on a wide variety of topics. These selections provide practice【23】using different reading strategies to extract the message of the writer. They also give students practice in four【24】reading skills: skimming, scanning, reading for【25】comprehension, and critical reading.

Skimming is quick reading for the general ideas of a passage. This kind of rapid reading is【26】when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or when there is not time to read something carefully.

Like skimming,【27】is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more【28】. To scan is to read【29】in order to locate specific information, when you read to find a particular date, or number you are scanning.

Reading for thorough comprehension is【30】reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage.【31】this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author's ideas but has not【32】made a critical evaluation of those ideas.

Critical reading demands that a reader【33】judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of reading requires posting and【34】questions such as "Does my own experience support【35】of the author?", "Do I share the author's point of view?" and "Am I convinced by the author's arrangements and evidence?"

However important we may regard school life to be, there is no gainsaying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and thwart curricular objectives.

Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript. writing, and developmental mathematics.

Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The many interviews carried on during the year as well as new ways of reporting pupils' progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.

To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food. Using a yardstick or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip, and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.

If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics and at the sams time, enjoying the work.

Too often, however, teachers' conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children's misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.

What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser plants ideas in parents' minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.

In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest developmefit of youngsters' capacities.

The central idea conveyed in the above passage is that______.

A．home training is more important than school training because a child spends so many hours with his parents

B．teachers can and should help parents to understand and further the objectives of the school

C．parents unwittingly have hindered and thwarted curricular objectives

D．there are many ways in which the mathematics program can be implemented at home
