"Organizational survival in our era will depend upon our ability to learn from our work. In this book, author Joe Raelin introduces the unique but very practical approach of "work-based learning." Recognizing the limits of a pure classroom model for organizational change, work-based learning allows us to learn in the midst of practice by expressly examining the intersection of knowledge and experience. Work-based learning offers managers and executive educators, faced with the relentless pace of pervasive change, an opportunity to overcome time pressures by reflecting upon and learning from the artistry of their own actions."--Jacket.
"Through numerous examples from his some twenty-five years as an educator and consultant, Raelin illustrates how to learn collectively with colleagues who also wish to grow professionally."--Jacket.

Work Description
Work-based learning is Joe Raelin's unique way of incorporating a number of action strategies--such as action learning, action science, and communities of practice--into a comprehensive framework to help people learn collectively with others. In this thoroughly updated and revised edition, he demonstrates how to engage our reflective powers to challenge those taken-for-granted assumptions that unwittingly hold us back from questioning standard ways of operating. A well-known popular author, Joe is an avid student of the many traditions that support work-based learning, so he presents an inclusive model that has wide appeal across disciplines and occupations. He provides readers with the most recent updates in the field, such as his coverage of virtual team learning, portfolios, multisource feedback, critical and global action learning, and changes in educational policy. Whether you're an organizational or college educator, this book will help you make learning accessible to everyone--and even contagious within your organization!
