Faculty from the University of Central Missouri, Murray State University, Marshall University, and the University of Nevada – Las Vegas, are collaborating on the development of a CTE Leadership Self-Efficacy Scale.

As a practicing career & technical educator, we are inviting you to participate to validate the scale and determine the alignment with ACTE’s High Quality Framework.

This survey consists of an informed consent statement, 35 leadership items, and demographic questions.  Participation in this research is completely voluntary and no identifiable information will be collected.  It is anticipated that the survey will take about 5-10 minutes to complete.

Access survey here:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CLSES

If you have any questions about this research, please contact Dr. Michelle Conrad at mconrad@ucmo.edu or 660-543-4332. 

Does anyone have strategies for overcoming a negative leader and followers? If followers can inspire other followers, can he/she also inspire a leader?

A lgood Leader can be a good Manager, but not all Mangers can be good Leaders

This topic is very important to all faculty.

All faculty are leaders. I do believe that we do interchange between the role of leader and manager.

As a leader, we do go back and forth between us the faculty and the students. We assess the group and find out what we need to do to help the students learn and understand.

I really liked this lesson. I guess that is why I got a 100 on the assessment. All the others I got 80. I really connected to this. 

This one really has me thinking especially since I want to transition to higher ed from K-12 ed.

Great Topics, so privileged to receive this information. My organization is giving me the needed tools to help move our department in the right direction.  

I have discovered in my time here that my role switches between the two.  At times we have to manage the process and in other situations, we must influnance other to embrace the same.  

As your career progresses will it be likely to change you focus from one of a leader vs. manager and vice versa?

In LS101, Are you Managing or Leading, John Kotter said that "Managers focus on promoting stability.  Leaders press for change".   I also learned in this course that Meg Whitman, ebay's former CEO is a "High-end Manager" who uses the combined qualities of a manager and leader.  My question is, do you find it challenging at times to use this combination in accomplishing tasks and goals of the company you own or work for or, is it easier to use the combination? 

Thanks for sharing.

I have had the experience of remembering something more easily if I had a conversation about it. As an educator, I enjoy teaching because I learn so much from my students and is sometimes in awe of their perspectives.

Do you find training a manager/leader facilitate the development of your leadership skills?

The stories about the principles are touching. They make me think about why i am a Teacher. Great stuff !

I have been through leadership training in the past. I enjoyed this course because I coul do it at my own pace. 

When hiring a manager, it is important not only to look at what the current level of supervision is.  In many cases, the position is in a state of growth so therefore it is important to ensure that the candidate will be able to keep up with the anticipated increase of responsibility.
