The following ESSQ Publications are available:

bullet Quixley, Suzi (1997)  Designing Experiential Programs, Revised Edition, ESSQ, Bowden, SA. (15 pp; ISBN:  0 9587640 4 2) - Original Price $7.50 : Now $5.00 (incl P&P) 

Experiential Learning is often understood, narrowly, to describe training settings where experiences are created.  Whilst this is sometimes true, Experiential Learning can be applied much more widely than this.  This article challenges some of the myths about Experiential Learning, explores the competencies required to conduct learner-focused training, and proposes some tools for managing Experiential Training effectively.  It also details further reading material. 

An earlier version of this article was first published in Archer, Liz & Fahey, Beth (1993)  Trainers' Collection: Resources for Trainer Training from the Trainers' Connection, June 1993, Youth Sector Training Council of South Australia Inc., Adelaide

 

bullet Quixley, Suzi (1997)  Organisational Development in Non-Government Human Services: Beyond the Corporate Planning Approach, Revised Edition, ESSQ, Bowden, SA. (22 pp; ISBN:  0 9587640 5 0) - Original $7.50 : Now $5.00 (incl P&P)  OR ... you can download the 2010 edition in article format.

This article explores the applicability of corporate/strategic planning models to non-government organisations in the Community Services industry.  It compares the sectors, and analyses the transferability of corporate models to the human services.  The article concludes that there is a need for an alternate model of organisational development, and proposes early thinking on such a model.  The model is particularly concerned with the role of ideology and direction in organisational development and practice.  The article also briefly examines issues of accountability in the sector.

 

bullet Quixley, Suzi (1995)  Notes on a Model for a Power With Approach to Short Term Helping, Revised Edition, ESSQ, Bowden, SA.  (43 pp; ISBN:  0 9587640 1 8) - This publication is no longer available as hardcopy ... BUT ... you can download a copy free of charge from the Free Articles section.

This paper proposes a model for short term counselling. Whilst drawing many ideas from the Person-Centred school of counselling, it differs from most in that it is a lateral model which provides a conceptual frame, rather than a prescribed process.   It emphasises enabling the person to take significant power both in the content and process of the helping interaction.  It also looks at including the option to extend the person's frame of reference, rather than simply working from where they are at.  This publication includes a critique of existing models, overview of this model, explanation of each circle of the model, skills/process checklists and information on further resources.

 

 
bullet Quixley, Suzi (1995)  8 Participatory Training/Learning Methods, ESSQ, Bowden, SA.  (30 pp; ISBN:  0 9587640 3 4) - Original Price $10.00 : Now $5.00 (incl P&P)  OR ... you can download most of the tools covered from the Trainer Training section of Free Articles
