Adolescence - why talk about it ?
Pedagogical Leadership in Academic Institutions
Using Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline as a reference, the session focussed on evolving a shared institutional vision through individual visioning, as the basis for leadership.
The session began with sharing by participants from their own experiences/understanding the following questions
What are challenges being faced by our institutions?
● Aspirations
– What are the aspirations of the institution?
– What are aspirations of faculty?
– What are student aspirations?
– what are parent's aspirations?
● What is the need or purpose for leadership?
The nature of leadership as a shared role than a set of traits, the possibility for each faculty to 'achieve leadership' by developing personal capacities, the need for "collegiality" in an academic institution was discussed.
