2. Leadership Leadership is not mobilizing others to solve problems we already know how to solve, but helping them to confront problems that have not yet been addressed successfully. Teacher Education Council of State Colleges and Universities

9. Delegating Duties • Delegating is much easier if people volunteer and take ownership. • Without ownership, delegating can look like micromanagement. • Purkey uses the definition inviting from the Latin invitare meaning “to summon cordially”.

10. Delegation • lines up with the progression of leadership. Where you begin depends on where you are sitting.

11. Leadership Style • A leader has to match the leadership style with the needs of the followers.

12. Communication

13. Working with the Media • Essentially there are four “triggering events” that would cause the Dean to interact with the media. • Publicizing an event • Capitalizing on accomplishments from: • College • Department(s) • Faculty • Staff • Sharing an unusual or unique story • Serving as an expert to the media

14. Rules of Engagement • Work through your University Public Relations Office. • Be respectful of media deadlines. • Identify “experts” in the College • Be well prepared • Be available

15. Utilizing Advisory Groups • Generally, advisory groups serve two purposes: • NCATE compliance and best practices • The unit and other faculty collaborate with P-12 practitioners in program design, delivery and evaluation of the unit and its programs. • Alumni and donor outreach • Colleges have alumni groups in cooperation with their University Foundation. (That relationship is important here.) • http://www.kutztown.edu/tower/Tower-Summer2010.pdf

16. Shared Leadership and Building Capacity – The Essentials! • Vision – Mission - Core Values • Conceptual Framework • Diversity Plan • Academic Plan • Strategic Plan

17. Vision – Mission - Core Values • Vision - It’s about creating a movie of the mind that carries us from our present “what is” into a future of the best we can imagine…“what ought be.” It’s our dream! • Mission - A straightforward, clear, and concise statement that defines who we are, who we serve, what we do, and why we do it. Global enough to capture the larger purpose and specific enough to provide direction. • Core Values – Describe Relationships Underscore the Whole Unit Clarify Who We Are Articulate What We Stand For Requires No External Justification

18. Conceptual Framework • The conceptual framework includes aligned educator preparation elements, describing the overall philosophy and purpose of the unit. • The Framework should also include the knowledge base, theories, research, and wisdom of practice.

19. Diversity Plan The Plan is underscored by a Cultural Audit The Plan has three primary goals: • To build and maintain an inclusive campus environment. • To recruit, support, retain, and graduate a diverse student population. • To maintain and enhance diversity in employment of staff, faculty, and administrators. An Implementation Team is essential. As the saying goes, “What gets measured gets done!” Therefore, a committee reviews the Measures of Progress each year, identify persons responsible for goal accomplishment, and makes recommendations. The committee updates the diversity web page and posts relevant data.

20. Academic Plan It is a purposeful effort to enable the following: • reflect on existing programs, opportunities, or efforts in terms of additional support, revision, or elimination; • identify new programs, opportunities or efforts; • reflect on the current department model for the college as it regards existing and new programs; • consider appropriate staffing and supports; • respond with creative and innovative solutions to three change forces – declining funding, rising expectations, and rapidly developing technology; and, • reflect on the success/failure of our external partners in relationship to our own programs, opportunities, and efforts.

21. Academic Plan Continued Academic planning yields many desirable outcomes. The exercise should favorably address the following: • increased enrollment, retention and graduation rates; • strengthen collaboration across programs, personnel, and academic units; • enhance the professoriate (discovery, integration, application, teaching, learning, service); • optimize our human resource commitment (existing and future personnel); • reduce costs; • increase revenue opportunities; • eliminate course duplication; and, • seek new alignments for enhanced academic opportunities.

22. Academic Plan Continued The 10-year academic plan should respond to the following grand-tour questions: • What will education professions look like in the next 10 years relative to our college programs/services? • What are the challenges facing education professions and how can the college best position itself for these challenges through 2020? • How will programs/services respond to three change forces through 2020– declining funding, rising expectations, and rapidly developing technology? • If the college were to become the leading education provider, what programmatic/service opportunities should the college pursue? • This might include, (1) eliminating programs/services, (2) collaboration, partnerships, and new program/service alignments, (3) consolidation of programs/services, and (4) identifying resources for these opportunities.

23. Strategic Plan • A strategic plan will enable a unit’s mission and assist in achieving the vision. • The strategic plan also allows a unit to take a big-picture view of itself over the next several years (e.g., 5) and be well positioned for distinctiveness in a change-oriented environment. • In part, it should include planning goals, timelines, a process, and overall desired outcomes.
