This page contains three leadership and organizational development competencies. The three proficiencies are as follow: 1) Resource development, human and financial, 2) Organizational behavior, change, and culture, and 3) legal and policy issues.
1) Resource Development, Human, and Financial
As an administrator professional, I believe in Higher Education Administration appropriately developing, allocating, and managing human and financial resources to promote change and foster healthy and strategic outcomes.The following course assists in resource, human, and financial development: The International Perspectives address the issues of the curriculum in France and the Bologna Process' impact and the changes that need to be conducted.
The second paper addresses the role of technology in shaping learning in higher education in the future. Years ago, simplicity was the way of life for most people. Then technology came and the order of everything changed for the best in some cases, for the worst in other cases and made almost no impact on other people’s lives. The emergence of distance learning has reshaped and redefined the Higher Educational System and Standard affecting the role of teachers, the curriculum, and the new methodology for learners.
The third paper reviews the Role of Government in Education: Economics and the Public Interest, a review by Milton Freedman. He reexamines the place of government in education as a means of uncovering what role the government should play and seeks to discover what justifies government intervention in any particular field. He finds that government intervention is justified on three major levels: natural monopoly, market imperfection, substantial neighborhood effects, the idea that one’s actions impacts the costs of another, and the concept of paternalistic concern for children and other irresponsible individuals.
The fourth paper elucidates the worth of colleges, a review of an article written by Ledermen, D. (2008), "College Isn’t Worth a Million Dollars." It represents an analysis of the worth and merit of college education in this financial crisis. He utilizes candidates’ presidential debates (Hilary Clinton) and responding letters from Charles Miller, the head of the Commission on the future of Higher Education, to provide opposite views regarding the issue. While the former posits that “college education is worth a million dollars,” the latter contends that “a college degree does not pay.”he author presents his article in a very friendly manner, attacking the issue at hand: what is the worth of a college education these days? Is it really an asset or a liability?
2) Organizational Behavior, Change, and Culture
The following clusters portray diversity, culture, and leadership. I embrace Higher Education Administration content that understands personal, group, and inter-group behaviors, and their impact on organizational history, needs, and goals. The following courses depict cultural competencies.The first paper, a strategic plan, is a proposal that will enable AIG (American International Group) to reach new heights with a new career distribution: The Quality of Life….Insurance is a new generation producs that can assist with the financial needs associated with suffering a critical or chronic illness as well as death and retirement. The objective was to become the number one leader in the insurance industry in terms of competitive position, products, and profitability.
The second paper addresses the challenges of restructuring curricula to meet the need of internationalization. The two main concerns about education resides in the “what” referring to the content and the “how” referring to the approaches and methodologies. We need to move from the teacher to student centered strategies and be open to internationalization and globalization in the educational system.
The fourth paper is an article by Finningan, K.,Gross,B. (2007) "Do Accountability Policy Sanctions Influence Teacher Motivation?" that seeks to understand the influence of the accountability policy sanctions of the No Child Left Behind reform (NCLB) on teachers’ motivation to implement school reform. The article is a useful guide in analyzing the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 in terms of understanding the weakness of the Bill, the tensions that it creates for the teachers and the dilemma the schools face in meeting the expected outcomes which is to increase students’ performance.
3) Legal and Policy Issues
As an educational professional, I believe in Higher Education Administration that applies and understands the scope of a legal and policy structure appropriate for their field. The following courses portray knowledge on legal and policy issues.The following are a series of cases launched against v. Velandrews University mostly based on racial discrimination, professors' tenure, violation of students' privacy, students' activity fee, drug testing, disability and age discriminations, Freedom of Association” and “Academic Freedom, Bona fide financial exigency, contours of tenure,” Children out of wedlock, Academic Freedom and research publication within the 1st Amendment, Religious and racial discriminations, and Violation of the “governmental” functions by acting on a “proprietary” capacity. In dealing with these cases, the rule of law, the resolution, the analysis, and the conclusion were debated.
