>>Subject: A 2-day leadership mini-workshop
>>
>>At our 5-week Leadership Modeling Workshop for high school physics teacher
>>- leaders nationwide 2 summers ago, we brought in a consultant for 2 days
>>to give leadership training. I just studied the evaluations. The teachers
>>got great value, they said, from learning about styles and skills of
>>leadership, types of power and bases of power, and influencing strategies,
>>and then PRACTICING these things in situations that they were likely to
>>face when they implemented the modeling method of physics in their schools.
>>The PRACTICE was what they overwhelmingly valued. The less lecturing by
>>the consultant, the better! The more they discussed and practiced among
>>themselves, the more they valued it.
>>
>>Here's how they practiced.
>>
>>First,elevator speeches: an individual was asked at random, at various
>>times during the two days, to stand up and give a speech of less than 3
>>minutes, pretending that he had met his principal, or a parent, or a school
>>board member, etc. in the elevator and had only a short time to interest
>>them in the modeling method of instruction. They enjoyed that practice and
>>spoke of it in their second workshop the following summer.
>>
>>Second, the afternoon of the second day was spent in preparing 15-minute
>>presentations to the following audiences, to convince them of the benefits
>>of the modeling method: the school principal & technology coordinator, a
>>local business, a group of traditionally oriented physics teachers in the
>>school district, the local physics alliance, and the school board. Each
>>teacher chose one of these, and they prepared in groups for 90 minutes.
>>One person from each group then presented orally and the others critiqued
>>it. That activity was by far their most valued part.
>>
>>Some thought that 1 1/2 days would be enough. Some wanted more time
>>allotted to sharing their own successes and failures.
