THE Center for Global Best Practices is launching another pioneering seminar, entitled “Best Leadership Practices for Department Chairpersons of Colleges and Universities,” on February 24 at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City.
This is to give importance to the department chairmen, given that they are in the “frontlines” of academic management, yet most of them receive little or no training for their positions. They play a key role in stewarding your school’s day-to-day operations balancing the demands of your students, professors and deans.
This unique program will equip them with the right administrative skills to be effective in their job.
Designed for both new and old chairs, this one-day seminar-workshop will help them learn best practices and strategies from Dr. Joaquin Gonzalez, a multiawarded department chairman and educator who has creatively energized departments toward achieving the highest student-satisfaction ratings and accreditation in America. He is an author of 12 books and a four-time teaching excellence award recipient from three universities where he has taught—the National University of Singapore, the University of San Francisco (twice) and the Golden Gate University, which is ranked No. 1 Best US College for Adult Learners.
He will share with you successful techniques that chairs use, as well as ideal models of administration. This best practices program is never really taught in any Philippine school.
Take advantage of this rare learning opportunity during his visit to the Philippines, where he will also lecture on February 23 on the topic “Best Teaching Practices in the US Classrooms,” where he will share his knowledge on world-class innovative ways in engaging 21st century learners. In the US he popularized the concept and practice of connecting classrooms to communities.
Interested participants are encouraged to register early to avail themselves of early bird discounts available until February 3 and group discounts for three or more participants. For details of these two seminars and a complete list of other upcoming learning events, visit www.cgbp.org. These are highly recommended for school owners, board of trustees, administrators, deans, principals, educators, Commission on Higher Education and Department of Education officials and human resources practitioners of learning organizations.
