WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.510 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Be. 2 00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:02.669 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: There yet go. 3 00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:03.629 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Thank you ceci. 4 00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:13.889 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: So the first phrase you see here on the screen, is that the Rio hondo leadership academy was founded to to enable the College to grow its own leaders. 5 00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:23.130 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And that's really something that we as a group when I say we i'm talking about the the 12 of us who actually were. 6 00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:32.370 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: involved in designing the curriculum for the Academy back in the 2009 2010 year and for those of you that are just joining us. 7 00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:41.820 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: don't worry we just got started my name is Russell custom ghetto ghetto so i'm here with Kelly lynch and see the auto charm and we're here to talk about the leadership Academy. 8 00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:50.550 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And it's not that we're a post recruiting leaders from outside the College That certainly is is value added as well. 9 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:58.350 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: But we really wanted to invest in in the the human resources and in the fine folks who already work here at the College. 10 00:00:58.830 --> 00:01:12.030 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And we got some surveys in staff development that showed, there was a hunger, there is a thirst for folks to develop leadership capacity back in you know before that 2009 2010 year, and so we spent a year. 11 00:01:13.350 --> 00:01:20.580 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: researching it and before I go to the next slide I want to just acknowledge there's another phrase at the bottom I think it's important to cover this one too. 12 00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:34.800 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And while the experience cannot guarantee promotion, the Academy, is designed to enhance one's capacity to lead more effectively at all levels of campus there is that word again capacity we're in the business of trying to. 13 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:49.470 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: enhance our own capacity to lead to be all we can be to develop a God given gifts and skills and talents, for the good of the College and for the good of our students so we're big into that will go on to the next slide. 14 00:01:52.800 --> 00:02:00.240 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And, as I mentioned in the in the previous slide we did have some survey data we actually had multiple years of survey data to look at. 15 00:02:00.660 --> 00:02:09.120 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: That kind of indicated, there was a hunger and thirst for leadership development leadership development information and, more importantly. 16 00:02:09.810 --> 00:02:18.270 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: We recognized that classified we're doing leadership activities in their own silo faculty were doing leadership development and their site silo. 17 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:28.740 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And administrator for doing things in their own silo but we thought it'd be valuable for us to do it together to be able to grow together, and this is called collaborative. 18 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:40.410 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: professional development, otherwise known as cpd right and we looked at best practices from other colleges, including butte college we looked at college of the canyons. 19 00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:46.320 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And we were really impressed with the model at Mississippi Gulf coast college, which was a year long experience. 20 00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:55.380 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And our own experiences model very much after mississippi's experience, especially when you hear about the campus improvement project that we'll talk about. 21 00:02:55.860 --> 00:03:08.160 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: A little bit later and we actually were able to draw on our own experiences in our own leadership experience and development, some of us have gone through academies that were a summer long or a month long. 22 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:19.290 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: or a year long and the 12 of us of what we're able to bring this experience to the table and we spent a year again planning this Thank you next slide please. 23 00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:31.650 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And here are a few topics that have been included in the Academy over the years this has been a work in progress, not all of these topics were. 24 00:03:32.130 --> 00:03:45.480 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Part of the experience from from year one and year two and year three and subsequent academies we've added or we've changed things along the way, because we receive survey feedback. 25 00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:56.160 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: from each cohort at the end of the year and we very much value that feedback because we listen and we read and we want to be able to keep the Academy relevant. 26 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:10.020 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And so i'm going to just pause and ask you Kelly and and sassy, are there any topics that are not here that you think we should maybe think about in the future because, again, this is a dynamic. 27 00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:17.160 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: iterative experience, I want to make sure that we're including anything you've learned in the last two years since we've been online. 28 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:27.180 Kelly Lynch: I would, I would definitely want to explore more of leading through this. 29 00:04:28.200 --> 00:04:39.210 Kelly Lynch: You know this zoom atmosphere, how do I be an effective leader that way, and then just to sort of piggyback on what our keynote speaker talked about is to. 30 00:04:39.570 --> 00:04:51.480 Kelly Lynch: Establish those connections, you know I can only be a good leader, if I have followers and So how do I, you know how do I develop those skills so that I can you know, be a good leader. 31 00:04:52.620 --> 00:04:58.350 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Thank you Kelly, I totally agree with you and we got some really good ideas for our keynote speaker today didn't we. 32 00:05:01.770 --> 00:05:03.570 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: yeah another thing i'm interested is. 33 00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:08.820 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: What are some things we can learn from our K 12 partners in terms of. 34 00:05:10.290 --> 00:05:24.420 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: connecting with our students, I know it's a different context, but that's something that we've you know that I myself i'm really curious about and some of you may even have experienced teaching in that context and, and so I just wanted to just offer that as a thought. 35 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.500 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Before I go to the next slide and before I I. 36 00:05:29.550 --> 00:05:34.170 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: want to i'm really eager to get it over to ceci so she can share her experiences to. 37 00:05:35.190 --> 00:05:43.380 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: You may notice that a few of these topics are focused on internal self awareness, we really want to make sure. 38 00:05:44.190 --> 00:05:55.020 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Participants in the Academy spend a lot of time taking stock of who they are, what they bring to the table what skills are already inherent in them, so we definitely take. 39 00:05:56.010 --> 00:06:05.190 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: A benefits approach and we we like to focus on our strengths and that's something that you learned about in working with the Academy, if you decide to apply and get into the Academy. 40 00:06:06.270 --> 00:06:11.670 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: you'll notice a few things here that are very practical like a conflict resolution and team building. 41 00:06:12.270 --> 00:06:20.760 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Strategic planning so it's a healthy mix of what we call soft skills and hard skills technical skills and, at the very bottom. 42 00:06:21.270 --> 00:06:33.000 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Is that ci P, I talked about earlier, the campus improvement project, which is a chance for each cohort to work collectively over the course of the entire year from August to about me. 43 00:06:33.930 --> 00:06:40.320 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And they get to develop a project that improves the campus and we'll give you some examples a little bit later on. 44 00:06:41.460 --> 00:06:42.270 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Next slide please. 45 00:06:44.640 --> 00:06:46.500 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Alright, so that brings us to. 46 00:06:48.120 --> 00:07:02.280 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: The the nuts and bolts of what the Academy, is all about, we have monthly workshops and we have guest speakers, some of our speakers come from off campus some are from the K 12 world we've had a couple from the corporate world. 47 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:12.300 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Of course, many from the Community college world we've had a few from the government world as well, and from the artistic side of things so we've had an eclectic group. 48 00:07:12.930 --> 00:07:22.980 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: presenters and we also invite our leaders from on campus to come and present as well, since we have a lot of resources that are here that and we want to be able to capacity build. 49 00:07:23.970 --> 00:07:32.970 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: We have self assessments, we have reflections on outside readings, we look at case studies and we actually look at leadership challenges that have happened here at Rio hondo. 50 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:40.770 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Over the years, and of course we change the names and we change the the the situations, but we always like looking at those. 51 00:07:41.790 --> 00:07:48.330 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: they're very instructive and then we have homework sometimes you have homework with your supervisor if. 52 00:07:48.810 --> 00:07:59.340 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: you're asked to interview your supervisor about you know what your communication style is there might be a survey for them to fill out, and then we just like to make sure we have a lot of group discussions as well. 53 00:08:00.690 --> 00:08:01.440 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Next slide please. 54 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:12.840 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And so, with that i'm going to I think yeah, this is a slide where I get to introduce Jesse and Jesse duchez or assistant dean of student equity and rice scholars. 55 00:08:13.320 --> 00:08:25.650 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: As you may have heard, she was part of cohort seven which was an awesome cohort to be a part of they worked so well together and they had their own shoes and their own shirts So hopefully she'll talk about that so without further ado here is so much I. 56 00:08:26.700 --> 00:08:31.710 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): think you Russell for the kind introduction, but yes cohort seven was a lot of fun, we were. 57 00:08:32.910 --> 00:08:43.050 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): You know I think what really cemented our communication and are just team building was this overnight experience over at cal state fullerton. 58 00:08:43.770 --> 00:08:53.580 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): So we're hopeful, given the climate and infection rates in the fall or during the summer, hopefully, your cohort would have the chance to do an overnight retreat. 59 00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:05.730 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): Because that really was a time that we were able to just be away from our families and our work and just really focus on on who we were and what we wanted to achieve with the program and through our work. 60 00:09:06.210 --> 00:09:24.870 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And so that was really the what really catapulted our cohort to be this really unique eclectic group of people who really were really we were really proud of our of our cohort and being part of this program, and so we did end up buying ourselves some really cool polo shirts and some. 61 00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:31.200 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): Can not canvas so some we call them oh my gosh i'm losing my mind. 62 00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:32.670 Kelly Lynch: convert yeah. 63 00:09:32.730 --> 00:09:40.590 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): On verse Thank you yes converse high top so anyways you can be as creative as you want to be in your group, but that's kind of what we started. 64 00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:52.020 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): After our overnight trip and we ended up spending once a month once one Friday, a month pretty much really again being we were in lr one oh no other one. 65 00:09:52.470 --> 00:09:58.770 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): You know i've been i've been here on campus I still can remember some of the rooms, but over that's where we were most of the time. 66 00:09:59.280 --> 00:10:14.190 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And so we spent a pretty much from like eight o'clock to three o'clock every single Friday or every once a Friday at once a month on Fridays together going through group activities and listening to guest speakers so that was really great. 67 00:10:15.270 --> 00:10:22.500 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): There were a couple of assignments, where we had to really spend some time on outside of the classroom to get together with a partner to develop presentations. 68 00:10:23.190 --> 00:10:38.910 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): But you know that was really again something that didn't seem overwhelming it was really kind of time nicely for us to be able to you know get together work on our presentations and it was again a good a good group activity for us and so you'd experienced something similar. 69 00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:48.840 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): attendance is really important, you know if you miss one day you really miss a lot of content, so you know we really. 70 00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:56.190 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): appreciate your commitment, if you're part of selected of this program because you will have to attend every session we only allow. 71 00:10:56.790 --> 00:11:06.510 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): One full session to be missed, otherwise you may be asked to be dismissed from the program and, hopefully, you know you would have at another time in your life, you may be able to. 72 00:11:06.870 --> 00:11:23.130 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): You know reapply and and be a part of the experience and the calendar has been you know, has been set, so there will be, you know you'll know ahead of time, so or what Fridays, and the dates that you need to be committed in the past, we did also get introduced up. 73 00:11:24.570 --> 00:11:35.040 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): At the board of trustees meeting we had a graduation ceremony, so there are a couple again some really fun things that we were a part of, and so you will have those dates ahead of time, so you can plan accordingly. 74 00:11:42.270 --> 00:11:46.170 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): So some of the benefits that I think you'll find and I found myself. 75 00:11:46.800 --> 00:11:56.760 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): was really just again because you get the time to block off your schedule from work and be in the space, you know, listening to great speakers listening to your. 76 00:11:57.060 --> 00:12:05.820 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): cohort meet you really do get to focus on, you know your leadership skill set and really be able to determine what do you already do well. 77 00:12:06.420 --> 00:12:13.560 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): What could you, you know potentially work on with your cohort mates to really just become involved and be a good. 78 00:12:14.250 --> 00:12:25.320 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): example for others on campus so you're really enhancing your leadership skills, I know, one of my cohort mates decided to go back to school and she's now getting her doctoral degree. 79 00:12:26.070 --> 00:12:41.490 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): One of my other cohort means has been promoted twice at the campus so again, you just never know where this experience might lead you to propel you and it's really comes down to just being able to spend that time to focus on yourself and be motivated by your cohort meets. 80 00:12:43.410 --> 00:13:01.080 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): Again, a lot of a lot of intensive work that goes in to this particular effort so if you were to calculate a monetary figure to this type of training with the well over a $5,000 value when you think about all the components that are built into the Program. 81 00:13:02.430 --> 00:13:09.690 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): The campus improvement project is also a great way to give back to Rio hondo into our students and staff and faculty. 82 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:16.380 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): In my particular cohort we created a web page specifically for the leadership Academy. 83 00:13:16.800 --> 00:13:25.980 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And we also felt like we wanted to also help support the campus with homecoming which was our first year that they had had it in like 30 years or so. 84 00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:34.860 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And so we were able to help support the launch of that particular event on campus you do earn a certificate of completion. 85 00:13:35.310 --> 00:13:40.530 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): it's a pretty cool certificate that I actually have in my office on my desk it's really nice Nice. 86 00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:48.000 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): Large frame with everyone signature, so you could also be able to display it proudly in your office or at home. 87 00:13:48.750 --> 00:13:53.730 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And lastly, again just a camaraderie I you know I got to really meet some people. 88 00:13:54.450 --> 00:14:09.810 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): That I would only know by walking down the hallways and like oh that guy kind of looks familiar or that Gal kinda looks familiar, so I really was able to increase, you know the the friends on campus by participating and getting to know each other on on a regular basis. 89 00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:19.590 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): So there is an application process, I promise you, is not, I have a senior in high school and I. 90 00:14:20.010 --> 00:14:34.980 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): have been helping her with her college applications and fafsa so I guarantee you it's nothing like that it's not that torturous or scary, but there is an application process, you know you'll be asked to fill out some information on the application is available online. 91 00:14:36.060 --> 00:14:43.110 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): You will have to acknowledge, you could complete an acknowledgement of the Academy commitment there are a couple of short answer questions. 92 00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:50.580 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): and your supervisor Dean, would have to sign an acknowledgment form that they support your participation. 93 00:14:50.910 --> 00:15:09.360 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): Again, because you do have to miss work or you know be out of your regular work schedule and they do have to come, you know sign a commitment form, saying that they would support you know, having you involved on the scheduled dates and you could also will need to submit a letter of recommendation. 94 00:15:10.470 --> 00:15:18.960 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And optional, you can also include your resume for review and all of these components will be again uploaded on to our web page. 95 00:15:19.800 --> 00:15:39.090 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And these are examples of the short are these are copies of the short answer questions that will be part of the application process, and how are we on time, let me see sorry 1203 so again some very personal questions about your leadership and action. 96 00:15:41.370 --> 00:15:50.430 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): describe an example of leadership and action either something you or someone else did that has been particularly inspiring to you so that's one of the questions. 97 00:15:51.930 --> 00:16:01.260 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): question number two and what ways, do you think your specific experiences and or skills would contribute to discussions and activities in the leadership Academy. 98 00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:09.330 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And, as a result of your participation in the Academy what changes do you want to see in yourself and how do you hope to contribute to the College. 99 00:16:09.750 --> 00:16:17.010 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And then, lastly, think of an issue on campus that you should that should be addressed to help better serve students and or the College community. 100 00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:25.260 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): describe the issue and what you would do as a leader to improve the situation if you had the power to do so, so again very. 101 00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:34.980 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): You know thought provoking questions that we just want you to hear a little bit about you understand where you're coming from as we review your application and consider your participation. 102 00:16:35.910 --> 00:16:47.400 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): If you do need assistance, there is support on campus i'm you know more than happy to also share my materials, I still save them and have them, so if you wanted to have some examples that are more than happy to share them. 103 00:16:47.850 --> 00:16:54.960 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): But you could also get support from the writers resource Center on campus so you have communication and extension to call. 104 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:09.930 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): I know this is a lot so bear with us and, lastly, the selection criteria will we're looking as your general leadership awareness potential. 105 00:17:11.100 --> 00:17:15.480 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): Your potential contribution to campus your potential contribution to that. 106 00:17:17.850 --> 00:17:18.180 David Lindy: Now. 107 00:17:21.120 --> 00:17:21.690 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): and 108 00:17:22.020 --> 00:17:22.650 David Lindy: Jacqueline so. 109 00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:25.050 David Lindy: I was wondering. 110 00:17:27.120 --> 00:17:29.010 Sorry, let me see if I can. 111 00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:42.960 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): Thank you alright so we're looking at also being representative on our cohort so i'm ensuring that there's you know representation from faculty from our classified staff from our managers. 112 00:17:43.260 --> 00:17:53.490 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): You know, really well balanced, we want to make sure that we're able to support each other and understand what each other's experience has been like at Rio hondo given your role on campus. 113 00:17:54.510 --> 00:18:03.630 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): We do allow some part time employees to participate, but you have to have been at Rio hondo at least four semesters okay. 114 00:18:05.700 --> 00:18:06.930 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): There is a. 115 00:18:08.790 --> 00:18:24.780 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): As far as our committee it's a representative subgroup of committee and faculty coordinators, so the three of us are currently on the are on the committee, as well as other friends that we have on our are also former cohort participants who helped to. 116 00:18:26.370 --> 00:18:31.770 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): be a part of the steering committee that plans the leadership academy and also the selection process. 117 00:18:32.970 --> 00:18:47.550 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And we hope to we hope to have 15 participants for cohort eight that would be really a really great accomplishment because it's been a while, since we've been able to have this program so again we're hoping for a cohort of 15 participants. 118 00:18:48.780 --> 00:18:51.660 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): And I think this is your time Kelly. 119 00:18:55.050 --> 00:19:12.960 Kelly Lynch: Okay, so I won't bore you too much with this particular slide, but it is important for you to know that the budget for all this comes out of staff development, so you are not required to put any money out for anything, it is, it is taken care of by staff development. 120 00:19:14.130 --> 00:19:37.440 Kelly Lynch: And so you are also given your release time for participation, so please don't think that you would have to take your personal time or anything like that your Dean or your manager is aware of the of the leadership academy and you know quite supportive, so if please don't let that. 121 00:19:38.490 --> 00:19:47.400 Kelly Lynch: stop you from wanting to participate thinking oh I don't have enough sick time or I don't have personal time that's taken care of okay next slide. 122 00:19:52.380 --> 00:20:04.260 Kelly Lynch: So again, these are I won't read these to you, for the sake of time, but you know, like Why would you want to do this, and the best way that I can explain this is just my own personal experience with it. 123 00:20:05.100 --> 00:20:14.850 Kelly Lynch: The first time I heard of the leadership Academy, I thought oh this isn't for me I don't I don't want to be an administration, I am a classroom teacher, I love teaching. 124 00:20:15.150 --> 00:20:24.210 Kelly Lynch: I don't want to do this, but I love this idea of you know, personal development, and so I talked to a few cohort members and they said, oh no, no, it has nothing to do. 125 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:32.130 Kelly Lynch: With going into administration i'll, thank God, because that's you know via those of you that are administrators God bless you that's just not my. 126 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:43.920 Kelly Lynch: My cup of tea so it's for anybody that wants to you know, because we are all leaders in different ways, you know you can be a parent that's leading um I think of you know at church. 127 00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:51.180 Kelly Lynch: Being a leader in the Community, being a leader, you know all of those things that we don't necessarily classify ourselves as leaders, we really are. 128 00:20:51.870 --> 00:20:56.910 Kelly Lynch: And so, this is a great way for you to meet with like minded people who. 129 00:20:57.360 --> 00:21:03.600 Kelly Lynch: You know, want to do this, I know that the time commitment, sometimes gets like oh I don't want to give up a Friday. 130 00:21:03.930 --> 00:21:17.190 Kelly Lynch: And I think everybody says that and then by the second session everybody says the same thing i'm I look forward to this and then at the end when we get feedback from the Members, they all say I couldn't wait to come. 131 00:21:18.090 --> 00:21:24.360 Kelly Lynch: And so that's something that's that you really want to think about is is your commitment to this. 132 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:38.340 Kelly Lynch: sse talked about that we are very strict about the time commitment, because you know, there is so much and and I will say that we haven't worked out all the kinks yet due to safety. 133 00:21:38.790 --> 00:21:46.590 Kelly Lynch: We do know that they're they're going to be some hybrid courses, so we would be meeting in person and through zoom as. 134 00:21:47.490 --> 00:21:52.830 Kelly Lynch: The the safety regulations health three requirements, you know we find out what they are. 135 00:21:53.610 --> 00:22:02.010 Kelly Lynch: But you know if you really want to think about what you can do with this kind of like what the keynote speaker again talked about like, why are we doing this. 136 00:22:02.550 --> 00:22:13.800 Kelly Lynch: What am I getting out of it, what is it going to do to help me with my job, and so you know pondering those questions, I think, really is best for you and there's no wrong answer. 137 00:22:14.610 --> 00:22:25.320 Kelly Lynch: And I think everybody goes into this thinking you already have to no no that's what we're here to help you as I promised we you you don't have to to know all the answers okay next slide. 138 00:22:27.840 --> 00:22:38.190 Kelly Lynch: Please so here's some pictures, because I don't know about you, but I love to see who's in it, so this is our very first cohort and, as you can see, on the on my left is there's Russell. 139 00:22:39.090 --> 00:22:50.160 Kelly Lynch: And then next Russell is Denise Clark, who is actually my coordinator for covert three and then on the far opposite end on the right side is Dr Adam weitzman who. 140 00:22:50.700 --> 00:23:00.930 Kelly Lynch: was actually the is actually now the dean of behavioral and social sciences and he was the Faculty coordinator for the next one, so you can go to the next slide. 141 00:23:01.950 --> 00:23:09.660 Kelly Lynch: Maybe you recognize some of those people in there, I see a lot of our steering committee members, and then the next one. 142 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:12.960 Kelly Lynch: yay that's my cohort. 143 00:23:14.760 --> 00:23:17.070 Kelly Lynch: And, and then cohort for. 144 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.050 Kelly Lynch: Recognizing people and then cohort five would be the next one. 145 00:23:24.150 --> 00:23:26.490 Kelly Lynch: And then cohort six. 146 00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:33.510 Kelly Lynch: Small but mighty and then cohort seven there, they are. 147 00:23:34.530 --> 00:23:37.650 Kelly Lynch: So hopefully your picture will be up there next. 148 00:23:38.670 --> 00:23:40.530 Kelly Lynch: For for cohort eight. 149 00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:43.380 Kelly Lynch: Is, are there any more slides. 150 00:23:44.610 --> 00:23:54.060 Kelly Lynch: So what we wanted to do is ask you know at the beginning, we said, you know what do you know what do you think you know and and you all came in pretty open minded and. 151 00:23:54.540 --> 00:24:01.710 Kelly Lynch: If you look at the three of us, I represent faculty sassy and Russell represented that their management. 152 00:24:02.070 --> 00:24:08.130 Kelly Lynch: portion of it are classified we couldn't get darn it because they're running their own FLEX session and so. 153 00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:20.010 Kelly Lynch: china's you know just don't want to be spread so thin and that's what happens when you're a leader you start to do all of these things, but we want to make sure that you have somebody that you can ask these questions. 154 00:24:20.520 --> 00:24:29.820 Kelly Lynch: Like you know and there, there are no silly questions you can ask just about anything I always like to say I used to teach first grade and students would ask me, are we going home today. 155 00:24:30.330 --> 00:24:48.930 Kelly Lynch: We can eat lunch, and I would think yeah but you know, obviously concerned them, so it was the question, so please take some time it's only 1212 we have you know a few minutes, and if there are questions you have, for us, we would love to help you, you know allay any of your fears or anxieties. 156 00:24:56.550 --> 00:24:58.110 Dan Coffman: Dan Kaufman here. 157 00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:07.470 Dan Coffman: I teach in the fire technology program and have for 26 years I get a lot of. 158 00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:27.210 Dan Coffman: firefighters that want to teach they usually come to me when they're ready to retire from the fire department and I tell them, you know you need to start this when you're young mid career and I have a list of things that I go over. 159 00:25:28.410 --> 00:25:30.090 Dan Coffman: When you talk about governance. 160 00:25:32.040 --> 00:25:39.630 Dan Coffman: You know the various aspects of curriculum development, the Senate. 161 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:49.740 Dan Coffman: A, B 1725 all those things I do you have, and I would like it just. 162 00:25:51.780 --> 00:25:55.050 Dan Coffman: For to enhance whatever I got. 163 00:25:56.850 --> 00:25:59.250 Dan Coffman: information that can be shared. 164 00:26:00.600 --> 00:26:05.970 Dan Coffman: On governance on you have one slide I brought this the. 165 00:26:07.140 --> 00:26:10.620 Dan Coffman: The PowerPoint up from your web page. 166 00:26:12.150 --> 00:26:14.700 Dan Coffman: And you list topics to include. 167 00:26:16.020 --> 00:26:24.060 Dan Coffman: Is that all over the place, or do you have, for example, when you talk about governance at Rio hondo you have a set. 168 00:26:26.490 --> 00:26:30.780 Dan Coffman: program on that say a lecture or or written material. 169 00:26:33.570 --> 00:26:35.820 Dan Coffman: I mean that I could share without. 170 00:26:37.020 --> 00:26:43.890 Dan Coffman: i'm going to be retiring soon so i'm not interested in in the Academy itself because of that. 171 00:26:45.060 --> 00:27:04.800 Dan Coffman: It wouldn't bring much benefit to the College, if I did it men retired, but for those that are interested, do you have information that I could glean have to share with aspiring aspiring instructors. 172 00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:07.770 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: ellie I can speak to that a little bit too. 173 00:27:07.890 --> 00:27:08.640 Kelly Lynch: Great Thank you. 174 00:27:09.930 --> 00:27:13.260 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Dan, thank you for your question, and thank you for all of your service in the. 175 00:27:13.260 --> 00:27:14.040 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Fire Academy. 176 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:19.320 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: I think i'll answer it in two different ways, and then I want to open it up to my colleagues well. 177 00:27:20.190 --> 00:27:38.040 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: First of all, we do have when I say we that the College has something called a governance manual which is updated I think every two years, and we can get a copy of that if that's what you're thinking of or that's what you have in mind it's a fairly extensive 2030 page booklet. 178 00:27:38.070 --> 00:27:39.750 Dan Coffman: that's different than the Faculty. 179 00:27:42.060 --> 00:27:43.410 Dan Coffman: faculty guide or. 180 00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:55.080 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: It is it includes faculty governance opportunities but also includes the the institution wide committees that require participation from all groups. 181 00:27:55.290 --> 00:27:55.920 Dan Coffman: yeah good. 182 00:27:55.980 --> 00:28:06.120 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: So it's a pretty global publication, so when I say global I mean in terms of perspective, so I can I can give you a link to that and get that from the president's office no problem. 183 00:28:06.630 --> 00:28:16.830 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: But then more narrowly in terms of related to the Academy, we do have a session that we devote to teaching academy participants about what is. 184 00:28:17.850 --> 00:28:26.610 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: participatory governance, what does that mean what does it look like and some people have had experience on the PFC or on the curriculum, as you say. 185 00:28:26.970 --> 00:28:36.210 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And some come to the Academy, without that experience and we actually have a mock PFC meeting that we some years we've actually we've called it, the. 186 00:28:36.780 --> 00:28:45.150 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: The peace and unity Council just to be able to give folks a chance to to put on a hat like if a faculty member joins the. 187 00:28:45.660 --> 00:28:55.950 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: experiential exercise, they have to be a classified Member for a day or sometimes a classified academy participant will have to be a student for a day or sometimes of. 188 00:28:56.730 --> 00:29:07.140 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: manager has to be a faculty Member for a day, so we all have to try a different roles and we all learn what's most important to us from that you know stakeholder point of view. 189 00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:14.910 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And we learn a lot about each other and it's a it's a really good way of not only learning governance but of applying what we're learning in a fun way. 190 00:29:16.020 --> 00:29:21.210 Dan Coffman: But anything anything I can get it's always helpful, I appreciate it, thank you. 191 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:21.900 Surely. 192 00:29:25.770 --> 00:29:31.620 Kelly Lynch: Well, and thank you very much and Dan also if you have faculty members that you think would benefit from. 193 00:29:32.040 --> 00:29:41.730 Kelly Lynch: Participation in in the leadership Academy, I mean you can't obviously say i'm your supervisor, I want you to go do this, but you certainly could say hey there's this wonderful opportunity. 194 00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:48.510 Kelly Lynch: I think you'd be great for it and, and you know that could be something to that that gives them a little boost. 195 00:29:49.380 --> 00:29:49.650 yeah. 196 00:29:50.850 --> 00:29:52.110 Dan Coffman: Well, I appreciate that. 197 00:29:53.790 --> 00:30:11.640 Dan Coffman: I will pass this along quite frankly I when I signed up for this, I thought it was the student leadership academy and I didn't realize that the Faculty or the College had a leadership Academy for the employees excellent I you know I come from. 198 00:30:12.810 --> 00:30:24.660 Dan Coffman: The fire service very organized and for obvious reasons and and for somebody that's coming from that environment, I know, when I first came here, it was totally. 199 00:30:25.230 --> 00:30:37.980 Dan Coffman: Foreign to me, even though I had been a teacher part time when I came here full time there was a lot of things I had to learn and sometimes rudely learn and. 200 00:30:39.180 --> 00:30:54.450 Dan Coffman: So I set out, I was President of the California fire technology directors, for four years, and through that organization, we focused on the up and comers and. 201 00:30:56.010 --> 00:30:58.530 Dan Coffman: Excellent I appreciate it very much and I. 202 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.330 Dan Coffman: appreciate anything I can glean Thank you. 203 00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:05.280 Dan Coffman: Thank you, thank you. 204 00:31:07.800 --> 00:31:18.960 Kelly Lynch: I saw it in the chat also Lisa was asking for a copy of it, too, I wonder if the governance is it is there a is there a link no to. 205 00:31:19.260 --> 00:31:30.780 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: yeah you know what i'll do while i'm while we're obviously i'll try to multitask I want to be fully present to any questions, but as for waiting right now, let me see if I can go get the link from the website and then I could put in the chat. 206 00:31:32.580 --> 00:31:38.820 Kelly Lynch: or i'm also too, if you can't I have a list of the participants, I can email that out to them as well. 207 00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:41.940 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: That could be a good Plan B, in case they don't find it quickly, thank you. 208 00:31:43.290 --> 00:31:45.660 Kelly Lynch: Any other questions that you might have. 209 00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:54.510 Dan Coffman: i'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt. 210 00:31:55.710 --> 00:32:01.680 Dan Coffman: And unmute i'm on the website, too, so you know, keep buying something there you can just pointed out. 211 00:32:01.710 --> 00:32:05.880 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: I just found it so i'm going to put it here in the chat hopefully this link will. 212 00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:08.970 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Do you see it there, everybody. 213 00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:15.060 Dan Coffman: Right, I will I will go after that and appreciate it very much. 214 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.840 Surely. 215 00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:32.490 Kelly Lynch: lisa's asking for the timeline for the application process and where we access the links so thanks to cohort seven we have everything online now and so we'll be getting that information to you soon. 216 00:32:33.630 --> 00:32:46.170 Kelly Lynch: To to for the recruitment process but i'm worth I don't want to give you a time, right now, because i'm I can't remember off the top of my head, but yeah there's all the links and the application and everything is on. 217 00:32:48.840 --> 00:32:52.770 Kelly Lynch: The web played page, and I can let says he's talked to that because it's your cohort. 218 00:32:56.550 --> 00:33:01.260 Cecilia Rocha (She/Her/Ella): i'm trying to pull it up right now I needed to have a couple more seconds hold on. 219 00:33:01.560 --> 00:33:06.420 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And while says he's pulling that up, I think I don't want to misspeak Kelly, but. 220 00:33:07.230 --> 00:33:20.250 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: In years past the deadline has usually been the Wednesday before spring break and that's a look at the calendar, it looks like that day is march 23 so Lisa and everyone, I think that deadline this year is most likely going to be. 221 00:33:21.330 --> 00:33:29.640 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: march 23 that'll be our first deadline and if people you know need more time, or if there's a chance to resubmit we can always look at that too. 222 00:33:31.560 --> 00:33:35.280 Kelly Lynch: Yes, I agree, I think that's what we had talked about sure. 223 00:33:38.790 --> 00:33:47.310 Kelly Lynch: But yeah if any of you have questions about that application process, you can always email us, I think, on that page there's also a link. 224 00:33:48.000 --> 00:34:06.840 Kelly Lynch: So don't let that intimidate you or anything like that it looks like sse just put the link in the chat box as well, so, so please reach out to us we're all here to help there, there are lots of there are lots of alumni are on campus that will be happy to assist you as well. 225 00:34:09.240 --> 00:34:21.660 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: There was something else I wanted to add to something you said earlier Kelly and SSC, thank you for adding a link on the chat I see it, there and Kelly talked about the the valuable lessons that she was able to. 226 00:34:22.950 --> 00:34:37.320 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: receive as an instructor right and and I know most of you are our faculty members and i'm trying to recall the faculty members who have been a part of the Academy, and the value that they have shared One of them said. 227 00:34:38.520 --> 00:34:39.450 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: I can't remember. 228 00:34:40.680 --> 00:34:44.370 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: The exact division, but but that individual said to me that. 229 00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:52.500 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: They were able to have a better relationship with their Dean, because they had a deeper appreciation for a Dean responsibilities and. 230 00:34:53.190 --> 00:34:59.250 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: What was more self aware of the dynamic in between them, so that was helpful another faculty Member shared. 231 00:35:00.210 --> 00:35:07.890 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: That they were very appreciative of learning more about the campus committees and we're had more courage to participate in some of those campus committees. 232 00:35:08.370 --> 00:35:13.290 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: Given the all the leadership development that took place during that year, and another one said that. 233 00:35:14.220 --> 00:35:25.020 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: She was able to improve her pedagogy because of the lessons learned from guest speakers and with a variety of guest presenters you have different styles right. 234 00:35:25.590 --> 00:35:37.800 Russell Castaneda-Calleros: And they're able to kind of learn how maybe there's new ways of engaging students in my classroom that I learned, as a result of being here in the Academy, so those are some things that were very faculty specific that I wanted to share with you. 235 00:35:42.060 --> 00:35:42.270 Kelly Lynch: and 236 00:35:42.330 --> 00:35:47.700 Kelly Lynch: We will also have additional information sessions, where we would have. 237 00:35:49.050 --> 00:36:00.660 Kelly Lynch: A wider range of he would have covert members that will be able to come and speak we just sort of wanted to whet everybody's appetite at the beginning of the Semester here, but there will be additional. 238 00:36:01.260 --> 00:36:14.490 Kelly Lynch: Information sessions, so you know you've you've gone through the the you know nuts and bolts of it, but if you want to come in here, you know so and so
