The Politics of Leading Change Informal Discussion
Apr 29 2022 Madhura Kulkarni, Northern Kentucky University
As change leaders, we often come up against challenges we call "politics". This series examines the politics of leading change through three types of engagements: 1) a recording of Susan Elrod's (Chancellor, Indiana University-South Bend) presentation on leadership moves, which starts to de-mystify actions change leaders take that sometimes fall under the "politics" umbrella [17:27- 43:54], 2) a panel discussion with change leaders working in different contexts, and 3) an informal discussion with WG 3 leaders about the ideas discussed in the recording and panel discussion. The panelists are Ande Durojaiye (Miami University Regionals, College of Liberal Arts and Applied Science), David Craig (Leadership Team of Effective Practices for Physics Programs & Associate Professor of Physics, Oregon State University), Susan Singer (Provost & Professor of Biology, Rollins College), and Gabriela Weaver (Assistant Dean for Student Success Analytics & Professor of Chemistry, Univ. of Massachusetts –Amherst). You may choose to participate in all three engagements or any combination thereof.

Departmental Action Leadership Institutes (DALIs): A scalable model for supporting departmental change efforts
Feb 24 2022 Joel C. Corbo, University of Colorado Boulder and David A. Craig, Oregon State University
How can individual departments gain expertise in leading change locally? The American Physical Society (APS) Effective Practices for Physics Programs (EP3) initiative aims to help physics programs respond to challenges with a collection of knowledge, experience, and proven good practice derived from the physics community and disseminated via the EP3 Guide. As part of this initiative, we are piloting Departmental Action Leadership Institutes (DALIs), which provide intensive support for departments in implementing changes to their undergraduate programs. In this presentation, we will describe the goals and structure of the pilot DALI, present some initial feedback from our participants, and provide opportunities for the audience to reflect on how this model might be useful at their institutions.

Evaluation of effective and inclusive teaching: How can teaching and learning center professionals be involved in change for social justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion?
Aug 30 2021 Teaching and learning centers and professionals may not be involved in actual evaluation of teaching, but they are often a part of the campus conversation about teaching evaluation. This webinar is geared to professionals in these positions who want to know how they can be an agent of change for more meaningful, inclusive, and effective evaluation of teaching -- beyond traditional student course evaluations -- which has greater potential to enhance teaching excellence at their campus.

Impactful Change Management: Differentiated Engagement
Apr 13 2021 Presenters: Kip Zwolenski, Inclusive Excellence Coordinator, Sagit Valley College and Gretchen Robertson, Dean of Instruction, Sagit Valley College
The presenters will share their journey of utilizing Bensimon's framework of First Generation Equity Practitioners to engage the whole campus community. There will be facilitated discussion on strategies to use on your own campus, as well as how ASCN can support this work.

Enabling Change Agents with Systems Thinking Tools
Oct 22 2020 In this webinar, PULSE representatives will describe the structure of change agent workshops, give a brief overview of the systems thinking tools they utilized, and present assessment results that demonstrate that teams who employed systems thinking skills were more likely to have enacted meaningful curricular and pedagogical change.

Transforming the Conversation about Teaching Evaluation in Higher Education: Thoughts from the National Academies' Roundtable on Systemic Change in Undergraduate STEM Education
May 19 2020 This May 19 webinar will highlight some of the examples presented at the Recognizing and Evaluating Science Teaching in Higher Education working meeting, themes noted by participants, and opportunities for further work that will bring these ideas to a wider audience that includes campus leaders. The webinar will provide an opportunity for participants to share ideas on what kinds of resources and events would be helpful to elevating and advancing the discussion of teaching evaluation, in particular how it relates to evidence-based instruction and faculty incentives and rewards.
