The Academic Leadership Development Program (ALD) provides Tufts faculty with tools and skills to navigate the diverse issues that arise with academic leadership positions. The program was developed to support current and future faculty academic leaders to be able to address the challenges routinely faced in those leadership positions.\u00a0 The ALD program provides a confidential and positive learning environment to discuss topics associated with academic leadership and develop skills through applied exercises.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ALD

ALD participants gathered at the Rosemary Johnson Symposium, 2017.<\/p><\/div>\n

The program addresses a variety of topics, including coaching and mentoring, effective feedback, leading change, leading systemic change for equity and justice, and navigating politics.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over 200 faculty have participated since it began, and it has received extremely positive feedback from its participants. They report greater understanding of the multi-faceted roles as academic leaders, increased self-awareness and confidence, and an improved capacity for problem solving. They also value the important opportunity to establish an ongoing network of colleagues from across the University. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, no program is scheduled.<\/p>\n

This program is co-sponsored by the Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT) and the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
