In this first week\, we’ll talk about how to better protect your energy\, so you can use it for the things that are most important to you.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Discovering your authentic leadership style\nThe greatest leaders aren’t good at everything.

Left unchecked\, it will negatively impact how you show up as a supervisor. Self-care isn’t just a buzzword\, it’s crucial for your success and wellbeing. You’ll learn the real impact of stress and how to develop a daily self-care practice that will allow you to be more effective.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Performance Management\n\nOne of the most challenging parts of a supervisor’s job is managing your team’s performance. Unfortunately\, managing performance can be stressful when you don’t have an effective system. You’ll learn how to set clear expectations and hold folks accountable\, whether it’s celebrating successes or dealing with failure.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n managing change\nOne of the things we hear from everyone is “there’s been a lot of change here.” Change is inevitable\, and often stressful. Throughout the Institute\, you’ll discover ways you and your team can improve. This week\, you’ll learn to roll out those changes in a way that minimizes stress to you and your team and increases your chance of success.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n implementing change\n\nThe last week of the Institute is focused on action.

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 further intensified many of these staffing issues. Because student affairs staff serve in integral roles on college campuses and add significant value through programming\, services\, and resources designed to enhance student success and persistence\, there is a need to address these staffing concerns. (McClure\, 2021). The goal of this study and Executive Position Paper was to examine student affairs staffing issues from the lens of ideal worker norms and per the perspective of senior student affairs officers (SSAOs). The premise of ideal worker norms assumes that employees have unlimited time to give to their jobs/careers\, and it is implied they will dedicate whatever time is necessary for the good of their organization (Acker\, 1990; Sallee\, 2021; Williams\, 1989). Sallee (2021) argued that those serving in leadership roles should utilize strategies to disrupt ideal worker norms that are contributing to student affairs staffing issues. This qualitative study encompassed interviewing 12 SSAOs. Through interviews with SSAOs\, I confirmed the presence of ideal worker norms contributing to student affairs staffing issues and identified resulting strategies that SSAOs are utilizing to address these concerns. Using the study findings\, I developed a VALUE Staffing Framework as a resource for those serving in higher education supervisory leadership roles to address student affairs staffing issues. \nThis webinar will take place on February 27\, 2024 at 3 pm EST.  To register\, click here. \n$10 for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Members \nACPA/NASPA Professional Competencies: \nAssessment\, Evaluation\, and Research; Leadership; Organizational and Human Resources; Personal and Ethical Foundations; Social Justice and Inclusion; Student Learning and Development; Values\, Philosophy\, and History \nPresenter: Shari Rich \nShari Rich has 30 years of experience providing leadership in student affairs\, student success and academic affairs offices on five different college campuses.

This collaborative effort of our three Communities of Practice is positioned to benefit practitioners and scholars alike\, creating a space to share new knowledge frequently left on the shelf. Join Dr. Michael Drucker\, Associate Director of Academic Support and Development at New York University\, as he discusses classroom teaching practices of student affairs educators through a critical pedagogy lens. \nAfter nearly 100 years\, student affairs’ educational role in colleges and universities continues to be debated (ACPA\, 1937; McCaughey & Welsh\, 2021; Penney\, 1969;). While student affairs personnel\, at the field’s origins\, contributed to student learning through outside-the-classroom experiences (Long\, 2012)\, student affairs educators are increasingly serving as instructors in classroom settings (Skipper\, 2017; Young & Hopp\, 2014). No literature has studied the experiences of student affairs educators who create and maintain a pedagogy for classroom teaching. Using critical\, hermeneutic phenomenology\, this dissertation explored the lived experiences of student affairs educators’ pedagogy. Following Peoples’ (2021) six-step process of analysis\, the data revealed five major themes: (a) student affairs educators’ belief in co-creation of knowledge\, (b) putting their beliefs to practice through facilitation techniques\, (c) developing students for serving the interests of a greater good\, (d) personal influences\, doubts\, and motivations for their pedagogies\, and (e) cultural and structural challenges to enacting student affairs pedagogy. A discussion and interpretation considered the participants’ pedagogies as an expression of critical pedagogy as contextualized by critical pedagogy scholarship (hooks\, 1994\, Freire\, 1971) and contemporary culturally engaging and critical publications in student affairs (Museus\, 2013; Quaye et al.\, 2018). \nRegistration Fees: \n$10 for ACPA Individual Members\n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members\n$10 for Non-Members \nREGISTER HERE to attend this webinar on Friday Apr 5 2024\, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (EST). \nACPA/NASPA Professional Competencies:\nSocial Justice and Inclusion; Student Learning and Development; Values\, Philosophy\, and History \n  \nPresenter: Dr. Michael Drucker (he/they)\, Associate Director of Academic Support and Development\, New York University URL:https://myacpa.org/event/acpa-growing-knowledge-series-critical-student-affairs-pedagogy-classroom-teaching-practices-of-student-affairs-educators/ CATEGORIES:Graduate Students & New Professionals Community of Practice,Mid-Level Community of Practice,Senior Level Community of Practice,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://myacpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/featured.png ORGANIZER;CN="Graduate Students &%3B New Professionals Community of Practice":MAILTO:gsnpcop@ACPA.nche.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240430T150000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240430T160000 DTSTAMP:20260404T174339 CREATED:20240207T184431Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240207T184649Z UID:13434-1714489200-1714492800@myacpa.org SUMMARY:"Leader Identity Development of Black Men: A Constructivist Grounded Theory Study" Webinar DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Michael Daniels\, Director of the E. Timothy Moore Student Multicultural Center at Kent State University\, as he explores the experiences of undergraduate Black men in formal leadership roles at predominantly White institutions.  The purpose of this constructivist grounded theory study was to explore the experiences of undergraduate Black men in formal leadership roles at predominantly White institutions to understand their leader identity development process.

The following research questions guided this study: (1) What is the process of leader identity development for undergraduate Black men? (2) What experiences have contributed to the leader identity development of undergraduate Black men? (3) How do formal leadership roles contribute to the leader identity development of undergraduate Black men? \nStudents attending institutions of higher education believe being involved and engaged in significant ways is valuable. However\, higher education administrators’ and practitioners’ failure to properly support students’ development seems counter-intuitive to the fundamental purpose of student affairs. Many institutional missions highlight an espoused value of developing students into leaders and many of those leadership experiences tend to happen within co-curricular spaces. As it relates to leadership development\, institutions often reference or utilize key theories of leadership development that do not center the experiences Black men. This lack of representation of Black men within the leadership theory projected onto Black men can lead to these students feeling dissonance with their leader identities\, specifically related to the accepted behaviors and values of leaders. A formal theory provides adequate support for Black men and without the theory\, the result is poor experiences for Black men in formal leadership roles which deters more Black men from seeking leadership positions (Hotchkins & Dancy\, 2015a). Less Black men seeking leadership positions aids the cycle less representation of Black men in these roles to conduct research studies to help solve this problem (Harper & Quaye\, 2007). \nWith consideration of how valuable formal theory is to a person’s leadership development\, I recognized how pertinent a grounded theory study is in producing a theory that Black men can use in understanding their own self-image reflected in a formal theory. In addition to providing a useful tool for affirming Black men’s experiences and supporting their authentic leader identity development\, this formal theory is helpful for higher education. Student affairs practitioners will benefit from having a leader identity development theory that considers and supports the process for Black men’s leader identity development. This model gives practitioners guidance on how to support the Black men at PWIs in their leader identity development. This theory also gives theoretical support to researchers in how to understand Black men at PWIs beyond their academic achievement and general social engagement. \n\nRegister Now to attend this webinar on Tuesday Apr 30 2024\, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM (EST). \n\nRegistration Fees: \n$10 for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Members \nACPA/NASPA Professional Competencies: Leadership; Social Justice and Inclusion \nPresenter: Dr. Michael Daniels\, Director\, E.

Despite these commitments\, however\, staff demographics have not significantly changed over recent decades. This session reviews the results of a 2022 research study which explored the ways search committee members understand their roles and navigate institutional commitments to diversity. Results reveal a new conceptual model for meaning making during hiring processes and highlight actions that can both advance or hinder representative hiring goals.

Strengths University understands the challenges\, the frustrations\, and the joys of leading a team. We want to help you manage the stress and chaos\, so you can better lead your team\, support your students\, and have more balance in your life. \nMore information on this Institute can be found on the Strengths University website! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Supervisor Strengths Institute combines asynchronous learning with group and individual Success and Accountability calls to give participants multiple opportunities to absorb\, discuss\, and implement what they’re learning. We use the CliftonStrengths framework\, to empower participants to both develop their talents and customize the content based on those talents. We also use a wholistic approach\, because supervisors are more than their supervisor role. How you show up in the world\, impacts how you show up as a supervisor.\n\nParticipants in the Institute will get…\n\n\n8-Weeks of Online Learning Modules\, including weekly worksheets and reflection prompts\n9 Group Success and Accountability Calls with your Institute cohort (60-Minutes each)\n1 Individual Success and Accountability Call (30-Minutes)\nThe CliftonStrengths Report for Managers – featuring your Top 10 Talent Themes\n\nDuring the Institute\, we’ll cover a variety of topics\, all designed to transform you from a stressed and overwhelmed supervisor\, into a more effective and empowered leader to your team. Specifically\, we’ll dive into… \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Energy ManagementDid you know energy is your most valuable resource? Yet\, we often waste our energy working on things that aren’t productive – or in ways that are productive. That leaves you feeling exhausted at work and at home. In this first week\, we’ll talk about how to better protect your energy\, so you can use it for the things that are most important to you.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Discovering your authentic leadership style\nThe greatest leaders aren’t good at everything. They focus their energy on their strengths and surround themselves with folks who excel in other areas. You’ll discover your own authentic leadership style\, one that stems from your unique talents. Once you know who you are as a leader\, you can better manage your energy and prioritize your time.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Understanding your Strengths\nYour talents impact how you interact with the world. When you use your talents productively\, they can drive you and your team to new levels of success. But what most people don’t know is your talents can just as easily show up as weaknesses. You’ll learn how to better manage your talents\, so your more effective and productive.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n coaching your team\n\nEmployees want a coach. Developing a system to consistently coach your team is one of the most effective things you can do as a supervisor. Coaching improves team performance and productivity. You’ll learn how to coach your team\, so you can help them focus their energy on their talents and give them opportunities for development.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Stress & Self-Care\nSupervisors experience more stress than the folks they supervise. Left unchecked\, it will negatively impact how you show up as a supervisor. Self-care isn’t just a buzzword\, it’s crucial for your success and wellbeing. You’ll learn the real impact of stress and how to develop a daily self-care practice that will allow you to be more effective.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Performance Management\n\nOne of the most challenging parts of a supervisor’s job is managing your team’s performance. Unfortunately\, managing performance can be stressful when you don’t have an effective system. You’ll learn how to set clear expectations and hold folks accountable\, whether it’s celebrating successes or dealing with failure.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n managing change\nOne of the things we hear from everyone is “there’s been a lot of change here.” Change is inevitable\, and often stressful. Throughout the Institute\, you’ll discover ways you and your team can improve. This week\, you’ll learn to roll out those changes in a way that minimizes stress to you and your team and increases your chance of success.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n implementing change\n\nThe last week of the Institute is focused on action. You’ll review what you’ve learned in the first seven weeks\, then develop your path forward\, with consideration to the specific needs of your institution. That way when the Institute is finished\, you can move forward\, focusing on exactly what you need to do to get the results you want.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Rates\nEach attendee of the Supervisor Strengths Institute must register separately\, but team rates are available.

While some transitions are easy\, others not so much. Whether or not you’ve had professional experience prior to joining a Higher Education graduate program\, the transition to life as a new professional can be especially daunting. This presentation will cover several themes that became apparent during the presenters’ experiences of making their recent transition\, and identifying strategies they utilized or wish existed for them. \nDate: July 15th\, 2024 3pm ET (12pm PT) \nRegistration Link: https://myacpa.member365.org/public/event/details/de6f654954ec2ba3224bc731e92cef9055334f6d/1 \nACPA/NASPA Competencies: Personal and Ethical Foundations; Student Learning & Development \nRegistration Fees: \n\nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members\n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members\n$10 for Non-Members\n\nPresenter Bios: \n \nJ Ravancho (they/them) is an Academic Advisor at Miami University\, passionate about empowering marginalized communities on college campuses. They are particularly passionate about looking at ways in which Higher Education seeks to support (or not support) those from marginalized communities allow students to persist to graduation. As a Pilipino-American\, who has worked at/attended PWIs\, they recognize the importance of working to remove barriers to help support students. Beyond supporting students\, J is extremely passionate about mentoring graduate students through their transition from student to new professional to help ensure that they remember to prioritize themselves over the work to help achieve a balance as a way to better support students while sustaining themselves. J is passionate about ensuring justice\, equity\, diversity\, inclusion\, and access for all\, and recognizes it as an enduring and perpetual process.\n \n \nMeet McKenzie Kitzmiller (she/her)! McKenzie serves as a Regional Property Manager for Tri Delta Fraternity and gets to work with Sorority House Directors\, travel to Tri Delta houses\, and support collegiate women. McKenzie attended University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for undergrad and Clemson University for graduate school\, where she found her passion for working with students in Fraternities and Sororities. Being a member of a Greek Organization and getting to live in a shared space with your brothers/sisters/siblings can be such a big part of someone’s college experience\, and McKenzie gets to work in supporting that. Outside of work\, McKenzie loves reading (my Goodreads goal is 30 books this year!)\, hanging out with her cats Clem and Sunny\, and traveling for fun!
