Issue: Leadership for transformation

NEXT


Title:
Leadership for transformation - What are the requirements? Orienting new administrators. Professional development of faculty - What is the role?

Discussion:

  • Orientation of new people - lacks content and leadership skills
  • People aren't rewarded for support of outreach - communicate the state
  • Selection process needed to address you, me and learning
  • What do you focus on? Discipline expertise or core value?
  • Stability of institution = faculty = need for professional development
  • Need to identify institutional core values
  • Question - Have departments had any full mode changes on how they teach?
  • Need to also look at expectation of students and train students to be more learner-centered.
  • How do you translate what you learn about learning into actual practice?
  • Is professional development one peer at a time? As a group?
  • Stuff in learning from cause focus to program focus
  • Who do you talk to in getting input from a broad constituencies?
  • How do you hear the different voices? Ex. Request focus feedback from industry! Whim - Need less focus of more of a broad education.
Questions
  • System approach - looking at all that impact on learning
  • Orientation - Need to look at what is communicated - What are they learning about expectations - core value, hearing the different voices, student learning journal of the institute.
  • Preferable Deal - As a system, not as individuals - Inclusive and stability learning for cause focus to program focus.
