LINKS 5: Our Transformational Toolbox
March 3rd, 2012, Location TBD (most likely Fresno)
Each LINKS event will be kicked-off with a keynote by a community college innovator, providing a framework from which teams of participants--in particular department chairs, program directors, deans, counselors, BSI coordinators, professional development directors, and lead faculty--will be able to think through strategies for sustaining high-impact student success efforts during challenging times. The strategies presented will be informed by first-hand data drawn from successful communities of practice around the state. All breakout sessions will demonstrate integrated, comprehensive methods for redesigning institutional and professional practices that meet the diverse needs of students. Attendees will leave LINKS with ready to use tools as well as a comprehensive community of practice package through which they will receive ongoing support from 3CSN and supplemental resources to sustain local and regional innovations. These resources include regular opportunities for face-to-face and online professional development, on-site technical assistance, scholarships for 3CSN Reading Apprenticeship & Acceleration communities of practice as well as for participation in BSILI 2012 in June.
