The critical resource collection explains why the resources are useful for change leaders or those who want to become change leaders.

How can I lead change?

Anybody can be a change leader. If you are creating, facilitating, or advocating for change in STEM education, at any level of the higher education system, you are a change leader. Change leaders may be either formal or informal leaders -- graduate students, faculty members, education leaders, department chairs, professional developers, administrators, etc.

To effectively lead change, think carefully about what type of change you are trying to accomplish, and how you might accomplish this. Who else do you need to involve? What do you need to learn? What might the barriers be? What data might support your planning?

How can I support those who lead change?

Those supporting change leaders often have skills, connections, and/or authority that can be valuable to the change leader. Supports can be within the institution, from chairs and administrators, teaching and learning center staff, or other faculty. Outside the institution, professional organizations and other support networks can be critical.

Develop change leadership competencies

What professional development might they need, and how can they get it? How can you help them identify resources, barriers, and institutional context? How can you help them to access or collect relevant data?

Champion change leader's efforts

Make the work of change leaders work visible within and across departments, celebrate their efforts, and reward them as possible. You may act as a valuable liaison to other stakeholders, including those in positions of authority, translating the change leader's efforts to appropriate language.

Professional development resources for supporters of change leaders include leadership and facilitation training, training in organizational change, and involvement with organizations for professional developers (such as POD).
