CTN believes that effective leadership can improve organizational learning and help drive the agency in new directions.
Organizational learning as a concept is the process of creating, retaining, and transferring knowledge within the organization. The primary purpose being to prevent organizations from losing what they learn from experience over time. The Oxford Review. 2015.
The Leadership Fellows Program provides a development track for practitioners across the campuses we serve to help them understand the underpinnings associated with the values of leadership to directly impact the future of higher education. The CTN Leadership Fellows Program helps to ensure that future leaders are ready to take on real world challenges in higher education and serve the capacity building needs of the program and the educational institutions that we serve.
Goals:
To offer practitioners the opportunity to work toward a shared mission.
To create agents of change, so that those who are most marginalized also have the same educational opportunities.
To develop the skills of leadership fellows to be facilitators of knowledge and best practices, and to understand that everyone from the newest to the most experienced educators have something to contribute.
To increase the ability of Fellows to inspire and influence others by being inclusive, open, and innovative while holding themselves accountable to CTN’s mission.
Through its Leadership Fellows Program CTN will ensure at the very least, that faculty will be better informed on the elements of an effectively led collegiate program and then be able to advocate for organizational change and understand leadership from a systems perspective.
