NYLA Program Information
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Community colleges in New York state and through out North America are being invited to participate in order to provide a broader perspective on key leadership issues important to all of us. Enrollment is limited to 54 participants per leadership training program. Limiting enrollment allows for a variety of active and collaborative learner-centered activities to be incorporated.
The Leadership Academy also advocates that leaders who participate in the program be provided with additional on-going professional development opportunities after completing this training program. An on-going mentoring program and additional professional growth opportunities for expanding their leadership roles and responsibilities within and outside the college are several other components that are essential for a successful college succession and leadership development plan.
PROGRAM DESIGN
Based on the concept of training-over-time, this program allows participants to thoroughly understand, internalize, and apply leadership concepts and skills. The overall focus of the program will be to establish a high quality, cost-effective succession and leadership development program which utilizes a skills-based approach, grounded in sound theoretical leadership concepts, principles, and practices. Four basic criteria are incorporated in both the design and delivery of all leadership topic areas: active engagement of participants, meaningful and relevant curriculum content, useful and applicable learning in the job setting, measurable training outcomes.
