Designed to assist the new practitioner in understanding the field of staff, program, and organizational development, this workshop will assist the developer in the preliminary design of a successful program. The session will be responsive to the wants and needs identified by the registered participants, but potential topics include orientation programs, faculty development, staff development, leadership programs, needs assessment strategies, planning and budgeting to meet the needs of your college, and developing a strategic plan for an on-going program.

A GREAT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPERS' SEMINAR:  CELEBRATING CURRENT ADVANCES IN RETREATS -- Full-day Session, 8:30-12:00 & 1:00-4:30 (includes lunch)

Mike McHargue, Foothill College, CA

This workshop will celebrate who we are and what we do -- demonstrating again that the best professional development is "well-facilitated shoptalk." This very interactive session will begin with a substantial mixer to help us connect with conference colleagues. Following that, participants will:

  • learn the "Great Seminar" model
  • share good SPOD ideas and activities
  • identify (and solve some) "challenges"
  • meet several personal conference resources
  • practice many activities and techniques you can use on your campus.
