Dear Colleagues,

We cordially and enthusiastically invite you to attend the 27th annual conference of the Professional and Organizational Development (POD) Network in Higher Education to be held from October 9 - 13, 2002 at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel, in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.. The theme of the conference this year is "Hold fast the dream."

The conference offers a selection of workshops, plenary sessions, discussion/presentations, roundtable/consultations, and poster sessions as well as a resource fair, all addressing the areas of faculty, instructional, and organizational development. Information concerning POD as an organization and the nature of this year's conference can be found below.

Experienced PODders know that the POD conference is not your typical annual meeting. The nature of the conference (and the organization itself) stresses participation, interaction, collaboration, and inclusion. Networking is more than simply a part of the organization's name. It is an integral part of POD's philosophy and practice. Networking occurs not just within the confines of the sessions, but also at meals, in hallways, and on the expeditions. To foster this process, POD has always contracted with our host site to provide a special group package daily rate that includes room accommodations, taxes, gratuities, meals and refreshment breaks. If you are new to the organization, we promise you that this group package significantly enhances your conference experience. Unlike some other conferences, getting a room at another hotel, grabbing a bite at a fast food place, and simply dropping in on selected presentations will not give you the "POD experience" that our members know so well and value so much.

We encourage you, indeed strongly urge you, to make your room reservation with the Crowne Plaza Ravinia by September 16, 2002. Our room block is released after that and the special rate cannot be guaranteed. Remember that the hotel daily package rate includes not only your room but also meals apart from Friday evening, which is Adinner on your own@.

We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta!

Sincerely,

Conference Planning Team: Karron G. Lewis, Nancy Simpson, Rosslyn Smith, Marilla Svinicki, and Dorothy Zinsmeister

Sally Kuhlenschmidt, Program Chair

Roger Sell, President

Hold fast the dream! Our conference logo includes the Native American A dreamcatcher@ surrounding a phoenix, the symbol of Atlanta, Georgia

The 2002 annual conference of The Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education will be held at the beautiful Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel in metropolitan Atlanta, a thriving and historically rich city of the American South. It is a city that rose from the ashes of war and then went on in the 20^th century to nurture the dreams of opportunity, equality, and freedom. We will celebrate our dreams at this conference!

There are many dreams in higher education: the dreams of undergraduate students who look to higher education for a better life; the dreams of graduate students who hope to find a life in academia; the dreams of faculty who hope to touch the future through their scholarship and their teaching; the dreams of institutions that see themselves making the future better for their students, their faculty and staff; the dreams of nations that look to higher education to provide the leaders and solutions for the future of this increasingly multicultural world. We have dreams, too, as individuals, as professionals, as a profession. All these dreams and how we can achieve them are the focus of the POD 2002 annual conference. We invite you to bring your dreams to Atlanta and share them with the rest of us.

During the conference we will be looking at the dreams of higher education, past, present, and future. Have they been achieved? Will they come true? What has contributed to their success or failure? What should be our dreams as a profession? What can we do to make them come true, for ourselves, for our faculty colleagues, for our students, for our institutions, for our nations, for the world?

In addition to addressing the theme and the general categories of faculty, instructional, and organizational development, this conference, as with other meetings in the past will have several tracks. Efforts will be made in program scheduling (tempered by the number of proposals accepted, space availability, and audiovisual requests) to minimize competition between track sessions and to create threads of concurrent sessions that participants can follow. The following tracks will be built into the conference in addition to the variety of other topics appropriate to the POD mission.

Today=s graduate students will be the ones charged with carrying out the dreams and promises for the future as well as dreaming their own dreams. Are they ready? How are we helping them get ready? What are the dreams and fears of the next generation of faculty? How does the TA experience help graduate students envision alternative futures beyond the research university environment? Can the changing vision of graduate education offer new dreams and possibilities for the future of higher education?

This POD conference will provide a selection of pre-conference, concurrent, and roundtable sessions for TA developers and those affiliated with national initiatives such as "Preparing Future Faculty" or "Re-envisioning the Ph.D."

Experienced Developers - Managing Organizational Change

Could there be a more important topic for holding fast the dream than managing organizational change? This track is designed for faculty developers with 8, 10 or more years of experience. Topics will include such areas as leadership and organizational change, ways that faculty developers can initiate organizational change, becoming an integral part of the change process, promoting change with department chairs, cooperating with administrative units to effect systemic change, ways to effect systemic institutional impact on our individual campuses, and the role of faculty development in institutional strategic planning.

It is obvious that technology is leading the way for innovative instruction, but is it ready to hold fast to the dreams it promises?

How will faculty roles and responsibilities be affected through distance learning and virtual universities? How might it alter the nature of faculty work? How will it change faculty development? Will it affect the programs we offer and the way we offer them? Will it change the dreams we have for the future of the profession?

Diversity

While pre-conference, roundtable, and concurrent sessions specifically addressing diversity issues are welcomed, we encourage that the issue of diversity in whatever forms it may be conceived be woven throughout conference sessions whether they address instructional technology, organizational change, TA development, or any other POD topic.

Areas of discussion might include how technology differentially affects diverse populations, how faculty developers can impact campus culture with regard to diversity, how diversity is addressed in our TA development programs, and a host of other issues.

For faculty development to grow as a profession, we need to concern ourselves with the quality and grounding of the advice we give. This means that we include research-based sessions in addition to those that are more descriptive in nature.

W3 Developing and Assessing Faculty Institutes for Integrating Technology into Teaching Starrett, David

Thursday, October 10, 8:30 am- 12:00noon

David Starrett, Southeast Missouri State University; Michael Rodgers, Southeast Missouri State

Over two-thirds of faculty at our University have attended our instructional technology Institutes since 1997. The resulting improvement in faculty skills has led to campus transformation, including vigorous efforts to offer on-line courses across the curriculum. This workshop uses surveys, worksheets, and discussion of twelve critical planning questions to give faculty developers, faculty, and administrators insight into issues surrounding development and implementation of a successful instructional technology Institute for faculty. Discussion topics will lead participants to numerous institutionally-appropriate assessment tools designed to garner campus-wide support for funding the Institute and its acceptance as a transformative tool.

Fee: $50

Moving in and out of partnership with individuals, departments, or other campus units is an integral, often invisible, part of faculty and TA development work. How we identify new partnerships, nurture those ongoing, and evolve mature partnerships substantially impacts the success and quality of our interactions. This session--intended for new and experienced developers--examines the partnership process, first using insights gained from research and then applying these insights to cases generated by participants. Through case study discussions, participants will emerge with new strategies for, and insights into, partnership as a key element of their development work.

Fee: $50

This session will provide an opportunity for participants to learn how to use Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey's Seven Languages for Transformation as a framework for individual and organizational transformation. Both novice and experienced facilitators will learn by engaging in the suggested exercises, sharing ideas, and observing one another. The exercises are designed to facilitate personal transformation through reflection on the four mental languages and to facilitate leadership through reflection on the three social languages. In additional to individual learning, participants will be encouraged to work toward a group objective-perfecting a structured experience using the Kegan and Lahey framework.

Fee: $100

Through drama games and exercises, instructors can help students of various learning styles interact with course material in new ways, thereby furthering understanding and expanding perspectives on the subject. In this session, faculty developers and TA trainers will participate in representative exercises. They will collaborate to develop lessons implementing this approach for a variety of disciplines. We will consider a case study of a course that was Aturned around @ by introducing these techniques. This is a follow-up to the successful AWhose Class is it Anyway @ session from POD 2000. Please bring a sample syllabus to use as a starting point.

Fee: $50

How do faculty create changes in teaching and learning within departments? What might this mean for faculty developers? Linking faculty development to institutional change requires understanding of faculty involvement in departmental change. This three part workshop uses the Kolb Learning Cycle to involve participants in examining our experiences with faculty involvement in change; exploring a recent dissertation and qualitative research findings; analyzing factors; designing conceptual models and metaphors of faculty involvement in change; and discussing implications for chairs, deans, and faculty. Finally, we'll dare to dream about faculty development's role as partners in change.

Fee: $50

W8 Developing and Interpreting Teaching Philosophy Statements

Thursday, October 10, 8:30 am - 12:00 noon Dieter Schonwetter, University of Manitoba; Lynn Taylor, University of Manitoba; Laura Sokal, University of Winnipeg; Marcia Friesen, University of Manitoba

The teaching philosophy statement (TPS) has been identified as an increasingly requested source of information in hiring, promotion and tenure procedures at many institutions. In many cases, neither the graduate students and faculty making application, nor the administrators making decisions have guidance or experience in the development and interpretation of TPSs. This workshop will be of interest to and will benefit from the participation of graduate students, faculty, GTA developers, faculty developers, and administrators. Based on a review of current literature, participants will contribute to the development of a rigorous academic model for writing and interpreting TPSs through various collaborative exercises.

Fee: $50

One dream of educational institutions, faculty, and students is that program goals for student achievement be realized. Assessment plays a critical role in this. Faculty need to learn how to assess programs. In this practical and highly interactive session, you will learn how to develop faculty assessment competencies, the rationales for assessment, how to determine goals, how to assess student outcomes in many ways, and how to use the results to improve instruction and learning. You will also strategize the appropriate role of faculty developers in assessment. This workshop is intended primarily for those new to assessment.

Fee: $50

Professors cite lack of time as a source of frustration and anxiety. It is a reality that much of the teaching support we offer through faculty development programs goes "unimplemented" because faculty (legitimately) bemoan their lack of time for making the changes. If we can help faculty with their time and organizational challenges, it will ultimately lead to more effective teaching and learning opportunities. The dreams that faculty members have of touching the future through their scholarship and their teaching cannot be realized until they have their time, paper, and information under control, and this can be a reality.

Fee: $50

Those involved in supporting faculty learning/teaching at small colleges face unique challenges. In this workshop, co-facilitated by a team of new and experienced faculty/center directors, all participants will share concerns, insights and solutions to many of the challenges. These topics, developed through the POD small college listserv, will be addressed in a small group, interactive format: new faculty orientation and mentoring, technology in teaching, scholarship of teaching and learning, using local "experts", and faculty evaluation through portfolios. Participants should bring copies of materials related to these topics for sharing and be prepared to develop a set of recommendations/products for dissemination. Fee: $50

When you (or faculty who come to you for advice) use learning groups, do students complain about such things as: -Having to do more than their fair share of the work? -Not being able to keep their group working on the assigned task? -One or two members dominating the group? If so, students are NOT the problem. It's the way they are using the groups. In this session, you'll learn why and what you can do that will both eliminate these kinds of problems by transforming groups into learning teams. Fee: $50

Successful change is a team sport. How do you build an effective team who understand the stages that any change process must follow if it is to become permanently embedded in the culture? Use these skills with your own center and advisory committee, or teach them to academic chairs. Access chairs directly or through the deans. Examples of effective academic change, and what went wrong when change was not successful, serve as a frame of reference for identifying where you are in your own change efforts and what you can do to maximize success.

Fee: $50

How can the return on investment of faculty development be determined? This session will review a return on investment process and discuss its application to faculty development. An example of the return on investment of one particular faculty development program will be given. The workshop will be interactive and will include sample tools and techniques. The aim of the workshop will be to introduce participants to an ROI process, provide tools, techniques and examples and to facilitate brainstorming sessions about difficult issues. Participants will complete an action plan to apply return on investment techniques within their faculty development practices.

Fee: $50
