Awakening the Collaborative Leader in you
In these complex times, leaders need to develop a deeper awareness of who they are and their state of mind in real time in order to engender collaborative action with clarity, compassion and effectiveness. The Post-Bachelor Professional Development Certificate (PDC) program in Educational Leadership for Collaboration presents a multi-disciplinary approach to educational leadership focusing on collaboration as a new way of ‘doing business’ in constantly changing educational settings. The purpose of this program is to provide professional development for educational leaders (current and emerging), enabling them to be effective, innovative and collaborative in their organizations by tapping into personal and collective reservoirs of effective action, symbolism, myth and wisdom.
| Specifically, the program covers four competency areas: | 1) personal growth | |
| 2) inter-personal and facilitation skills | ||
| 3) organizational development | ||
| 4) creating a working model of collaboration |
This Post-Bachelor Program consists of:
| • Four 3-day on-site face-to-face seminars with international faculty. |
| • Action-research projects (ARP) in the school-setting. |
| • Monthly on-site facilitated interaction to foster community building among program participants and group learning. |
| • Three individual coaching and mentoring sessions with faculty online for personal development and ARP progress. |
| • Interactive learning, personal and shared inquiry, group research and on-the-job practical application of tools and concepts. |
| • Assessment through class participation, short reflective papers, an action research project, and a final ARP report. |
On-site sessions provide in-depth instruction and practice of skills at four levels of leadership awareness. Individual and group coaching sessions help participants integrate and apply their learning.
This Professional Development Certificate (PDC) program offered by the University of Aruba is a 15 European credit program (each credit is 28 clock hours) at a post-bachelor level.
