Policy Design In A Nutshell

To be effective policy must be well designed, formulated and executed. This short paper is about some basic principles in policy design: it contains some explanation and several handy checklists.

The policy cycle can be split up in several steps with a policy issue as home base. Once you have identified, defined and analyses the policy issue the next step is to select the best solution to solve the issue. Then you need to implement the solution, and to monitor the progress and effectivity of the implementation. And finally you must assess if the solution has solved the issue or that more needs to be done.

In all policy design it is essential to pay attention to: the relevance of the issue and justification of the intervention; the plausibility that DOing will result in GETting the desired outcome and the feasibility of the intervention.

Professional Effectiveness and Reflective Practice

Effectiveness as practice

To be effective is the job of the knowledge worker. Whether he or she works in a business or in a hospital, in a government agency or in a labor union, in a university or in the army, the knowledge worker is, first of all, expected to get the right things done. And this simply means the knowledge worker is expected to be effective.

(Peter Drucker)


Professional effectiveness is not a gift but a habit. It is a practice that can be learned and developed. It is requires the desire to be effective. It requires the desire to become more effective in being effective. It requires reflection on planning, action and result. Professional effectiveness as a habit is the pot of gold that can be reached by hard continuous hard work.

(...)

Supporting professional development of knowledge workers is all about stimulating and facilitating their reflective practice— based on their intrinsic individual or collective motivation. The motivation and desire to be as effective as can be in their contribution to the performance of the organization they work for, and the society they live in.

De Coachende Onderzoeker in het kort

Ontwikkeling van de beroepspraktijk is bij voorkeur een gemeenschappelijk onderzoeksmatig proces met en door betrokkenen. Participatie van betrokkenen (collega’s, ouders én leerlingen) veronderstelt hun eigenaarschap en hun competentie op de inhoud van het onderwerp en competentie op het samen onderzoekend kunnen leren en werken aan praktijkontwikkeling. Het bevorderen en mogelijk maken van die participatie door betrokkenen vraagt van professionals in het onderwijs het oppakken van de rol van ‘coachende onderzoeker’.
