SUMMARY:Spring 2024 Supervisor Strengths Institute
DESCRIPTION:Supervisor Strengths InstituteBecome a More Confident & Empowered Supervisor in as Little as 8-Weeks!\n				Registration is open!\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				9 WEDNESDAYS (17 January – 13 MARCH) // 1pm-2pm ET each dayDelivered Virtually\nACPA is excited to partner with Strengths University for the Spring 2024 Supervisor Strengths Institute! \nLearn to become a more effective supervisor and show up authentically in your leadership role. You’ll gain skills around how to feel balanced\, aligned\, and able to genuinely enjoy your work while having the energy to do your best work. 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)\n3 Individual Success and Accountability Calls (30-Minutes each)\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. Your first team member will pay full price\, but each additional team member gets $100 off their registration fee!

This buzzword is seemingly everywhere\, but what does it really mean? Why does it matter? How can we each contribute to this critical work? \n“Well-being in Higher Education: Raising Literacy and Advancing the Conversation” is a free\, virtual event taking place 26 February – 1 March\, 2024. Over 20 associations are collaborating with a goal to raise the literacy for well-being among higher education professionals and to advance conversation among colleagues on and across campuses. \nThe Well-being in Higher Education event is one of the outcomes of the Health and Well-being in Higher Education: A Commitment to Student Success and will help put the Inter-association Well-being Definition into practice. \nExpected learning outcomes for this event are that\, after attending\, participants will be able to: \n\nArticulate why well-being is critical to the mission of higher education\nDiscuss how each campus position is inherently a part of well-being work\nDescribe the aspects of well-being and differentiate between wellness and well-being\nIdentify opportunities for collaboration to increase campus well-being\n\n			\n				Learn more about this event\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Inter-association Well-being Definition\nThe Inter-association Well-being Definition is one outcome of the “Health and Well‑being in Higher Education: A Commitment to Student Success.” In our pursuit to co-create cultures of integrated well-being on campuses worldwide\, we want to ensure we are building from a shared understanding and foundation. Since there was not an existing definition that defined well-being\, especially as it applies to higher education\, the members of our organizations asked that one be created. \n\nThis definition\, and its supplementary material\, is meant to be foundational; we hope a shared understanding can be a stepping stone to systemic change. This document is\, of course\, not exhaustive.

SUMMARY:Addressing Ideal Worker Norms as a Factor of Student Affairs Staffing Issues: Perspectives of Senior Student Affairs Officers
DESCRIPTION:Professionals in the student affairs field report concerns of stress\, burnout\, work-life balance issues\, overall job satisfaction\, and unrealistic demands and expectations often resulting in employees exiting the field (Bochman\, 2007; Evans\, 1988; Lorden\, 1998; Marshall et al.\, 2016; Mullen et al.\, 2018; Rosser & Javinar\, 2003; Ward\, 1995). 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.
