VISION
A two week long intensive Summer Leadership Institute (SLI) will support the vision and objectives
of BZU. Participants will attend a combination of presentations, discussion sessions, and
workshops, culminating with presentation of participant web-portfolios.
The purpose of the Summer Leadership Institute is to develop leaders among the faculty,
administration, and support staff who will initiate and direct activities that lead to greater success
of students. These leaders will promote professional learning to advance research, curriculum
development, and integration of student support services and instruction, and, as appropriate,
effect institutional change.
WHAT IS THE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE (SLI)?
The LI is a unique opportunity for honing your personal leadership capacities to support the
University’s strategic priorities by participating fully as a leader within your work or educational
context. It is a two-week long initiative where participants engage daily in a sustained dialogue
within a learning community. The community setting is safe and respectful, yet challenging.
Through facilitated small and large group dialogues, reflective writing, readings, videos, activities
and exercises, participants develop their leadership capacities to effectively interact with members
of the University.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
SLI represents all strata of the university, including, faculty and administrators from multiple
departments and disciplines.
GOALS
A primary goal of the SLI is to help cultivate leadership capacities for individuals across campus,
which needs leaders who can create inclusive teaching, working, and learning climates in which any
individual or group can feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued. Such an inclusive and
welcoming climate embraces differences and offers respect in both words and actions so that all
people can fully participate in opportunities the university provides.
Summer Leadership Institute is structured to help participants
•
Explore “spheres of influence”;
•
Acquire tools and skills to help build inclusive working/teaching/living environments;
•
Interact and communicate on all levels;
•
Identify ways of engaging with conflict;
•
Build inclusive and equitable relationships across campus;
•
Develop confidence in their personal leadership style.
SUMMER LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE LEARNING OUTCOMES
As a result of attending the Summer Leadership Institute, participants will:
•
Become effective leaders in a wide variety of situations related to the improvement of student
outcomes.
•
Develop and implement initiatives that address the motivation and success of students.
•
Recognize and address gaps, needs, opportunities, and strengths related to teaching and
learning in a range of educational settings.
•
Engage the campus community in professional learning inquiry.
•
Design, implement, and evaluate effective learning environments based on relevant research.
PARTICIPANT EXPECTATIONS
Participants will be expected to:
•
Be an integral and active participant in their groups.
•
Read and come prepared for discussion, or participate in a small group activity, and/or
prepare a few paragraphs of reflective writing, or a group agreed upon project.
•
Be asked to consider new ways of thinking about what they do, who they are, their beliefs
about others, and their vision of leadership.
•
Participate in providing both verbal and written feedback (via an anonymous survey
process) at the start, mid-point, and end of the institute. This will encompass
assessment/evaluation of their personal participant goals for SLI, assessment of their SLI
experience, their Small and Large Group, your Participant-Facilitators, workshops (guest
presenters) and texts (readings and videos). This feedback serves multiple-purposes:
providing them with a “self-check-in” on meeting your personal LI Goals; providing SLI
Facilitators “in-the-moment” feedback to best meet participant needs; informing the
university and other interested parties about SLI and the SLI participant experience.
