PROGRAM ELEMENTS
1. Ten full-day leadership sessions scheduled over one year (i.e., an initial 5-day session followed a year later by a concluding 5-day session).
2. A year long practicum experience between training sessions with support and guidance provided by self-selected college mentors and Academy liaisons:
Individualized Professional Development Plan (IPDP) – Participants will develop and implement individualized action plans (IPDP) to address the leadership topics and skills covered in the first training session. Participants will expand their IPDP to include the other leadership topics covered during the second training session.
Mentoring Program – Participants will choose a college mentor who will provide support, guidance, and feedback regarding their IPDP. In addition, an Academy liaison will also provide further guidance and support. Participants will also select a “Program Partner” for peer support during their practicum experience.
Reflective Practice and Journaling – During the practicum experience, participants will be encouraged to reflect upon their work experience and their IPDP on a regular basis. Reflection will help them to establish a benchmark of where they are now, determine what they have learned from their leadership activities/experiences, and what they will do as a transformational leader in the future.
Electronic Forum – Participants will be able to electronically engage in an on-going dialogue with fellow participants through our Academy list serv. Monthly leadership issues will be sent by the Academy. Additional leadership content, which reinforces and enhances the learning experience during the practicum experience, will also be provided. The participants’ mentors and their immediate supervisors will be hooked up electronically and the Academy will provide them with program information and support as well.
