10:00 - 12:00: Project Conveners / Project Evaluators meeting (see www.fspe.org/linc/workshop_series/Workshop4/workshop4_agenda.asp)

Luncheon meeting - Project Evaluators

Comments by Gail Imig, The W K Kellogg Foundation, Steve Bosserman and Elizabeth McGrath, WorkSpan

A brief history (see www.fspe.org/linc/about.asp) for background information) and overview of the WorkSpanLINC Model to discuss:

1) The intentions of the Leadership for Institutional Change initiative

2) The deliberate use of the space between the conferences, the conferences as models of shared learning opportunities, as developed at the Design Conference (February 2-4, 1998). (www.fspe.org/linc/resources/index.asp)

3) The workshop segments (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3) and the deliberate intentions for Workshop #4, focus, objectives, and expectations will be discussed and reviewed. (www.fspe.org/linc/workshop_series/Workshop4/workshop4.asp)

Interactive Sessions: Six concurrent sessions using multiple modalities will share experiments, activities, programs, or models being used at various institutions, demonstrating what they are learning, and the implications for identifying leadership brought into that experiment. These are not necessarily what the projects are doing, but could be what has been done at institutions previously, or what is going on simultaneously with the LINC initiative. After explaining what is happening, we will carefully examine who is involved, why the experiment was started, what role leadership has played, if there is a new model of leadership being exhibited, and what the implications would be for the LINC initiative.

Please use the threaded discussion group if you have questions about this section.

Each concurrent session will use four design principles in their session:

• The theory or abstract idea that informed the experience/activity/project
• The use of involvement and interaction to enhance deep learning
• The role of art in integrating and amplifying learnings
• Hard copy documentation to make the learning experience transportable/repeatable

 

SIX INTERACTIVE CONCURRENT SESSIONS – EACH 75 MINUTES

1. Orientation for new participants. If anyone wants a more complete understanding about LINC and the WorkSpanLINC model, this session is design to answer your questions
2. Art in LINC Workshops. Karl Lohrenz, Minnesota, will explain the use of art in the Workshop series, and as a representation of systems thinking.
3. Visioning collective leadership. The South Carolina Leadership Congress will share their process/model that they used in creating a vision for collective leadership.
4. Leadership experiment/process/model #1. Howard Ladewig will share the SELD workshop model about preparing people for change. Over 1,000 people have completed his training in 13 states.
5. Leadership experiment/process/model #2: Leverne Barrett, Nebraska, will present The Full Range Leadership Model developed by Bernard Bass & Bruce Avolio. The model is based on the original work by J.M. Burns. The model contrasts the less effective transactional management styles with the more effective transformational leadership styles of individualized consideration, inclusive vision, innovative thinking, and inspirational motivation.
6. Leadership experiment/process/model #3: Georgia Sorenson will present the 'inside story' of the politics and success of a full-scale academic leadership department (72 faculty members and a $3 million annual budget) and share twenty years of mistakes which hopefully can be avoided and triumphs which can be anticipated in your own institution. A political model of change in an academic institution will be presented, with a robust discussion to follow. Gloria is the founder of the James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership at the University of Maryland. She is co-author and collaborator with seminal leadership scholar James MacGregor Burns.
   

The interactive sessions will address the following questions

A.) How have we engaged others? Offering background and rationale regarding institutional change and how it connects to leadership (lit a fire) for the LINC initiative

B.) What are we doing, either at our institutions (not necessarily within the LINC initiative) or with other higher educational institutions?: What has come to our attention...what we have drawn upon from others’ change initiatives/leadership experiments

C.) How can we utilize our learnings?

Participants fill out comment cards that inform the next day's design

What came clear today?

What needs further discussion?

Please make plans with your Learning Partner to get acquainted over dinner

Participants are invited to work with the facilitators, reviewing the "pulse cards" and refining the next days' agenda - reconvene at 9:00pm

7:30 - 7:40:  Brief Introduction and thanks to SOFSEC

7:40 – 8:40:  SOFSEC Legislative Panel Discussion: “Matching State Funds for 1890

8:40 – 9:00:  Open dialogue with LINC Participants and Panel

A.) What have they learned that can be shared with others? How will matching funds at 1890 universities impact 1862 universities and people in other states?

B.) How did they engage others? How will matching funds at 1890 universities impact community-based organizations, small businesses, small farmers, agricultural productivity, the environment, food safety, nutrition, and health?

C.) How did shared leadership contribute to the process and success?
