Leadership in the Rough: Rejuvenating academic leadership for Australian higher education 💥 As the future of universities is debated, so too should the nature of how they are led be up for deliberation. This is a vital conversation to have. And it is important to have it in public. 👉 Leadership matters to universities, and academic leadership matters most of all. Australia needs to maintain its excellent universities, which relies on a young generation of academics to support and cherish them. 🤝 Universities need to create space for teachers, researchers and students to fail, to develop, and to succeed. They need to make academic careers exciting and enticing for our younger colleagues, not perilous and precarious. 💪 Transparent and thorough analysis of university leadership is essential to ensuring its strength and contribution.

Struggling to ensure quality education for all students in your school? 🌍📚 In today’s fast-paced educational landscape, one of the biggest challenges facing schools globally is ensuring equitable access to quality education. According to the UNESCO Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, despite progress, millions of children are still being left behind due to factors like language barriers, lack of resources, and inequalities in educational systems. As educators and administrators, we must confront these gaps head-on. The key to tackling these challenges lies in data-driven decision-making and the implementation of inclusive technologies that empower both students and teachers. A comprehensive Student Performance Tracking System can help your school identify at-risk students early, personalize learning, and align resources where they are needed most. Take the first step towards a more inclusive and effective learning environment. Your school’s success starts with understanding the unique needs of every student.

Raising the attractiveness of teacher careers This month’s news articles explain that motivated and well-prepared teachers are needed to create a positive societal impact, and how professional development through Erasmus+ projects can support teachers’ job satisfaction. Initiatives like the Educational Leadership Network Europe (ELNE) can also empower educators and school leaders. However, teacher shortages in more than half of EU Member States have an impact on quality of education and equal opportunities. The latest Education and Training Monitor emphasises the importance of recruitment and retention to tackling the problem; other evidence-based interventions are presented in the recent EENEE-NESET analytical report and a policy brief with a focus on the early childhood education and care sector. Altogether, specific actions are needed to empower teachers for a brighter future, as explained by Kristof De Witte, Willem De Cort and Letizia Gambi (KU Leuven) in this month’s expert article.

Today's higher education leaders know the clock is ticking when it comes to driving the change you need for your institution to be successful. Is your IT function enabling and accelerating that vision? Greenville University President Suzanne Davis had a bold vision for the institution when she took office, but she quickly realized her IT team needed more support and horsepower than they had available at the time. The resulting partnership with Dynamic Campus has been transformative for President Davis and Greenville University. If you're a forward-thinking leader looking to accelerate the rate of change on your campus, you'll want to hear from Suzanne's experience below. #highereducation #highered #itoutsourcing

🧬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐃𝐍𝐀 While economic returns matter to almost all students, not all institutions get the message. Out of all the sessions at the ASU+GSV Summit a few months back, this one resonated with me—yes, because I am proud of Western Governors University (WGU) and its focus on economic return for its students, but also because I am delighted that there are many institutions with a unique mission and priorities (i.e., their DNA*) and which prioritize outcomes for their students. *𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑠 𝑜𝑟 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑠 𝑢𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒. For WGU, our DNA is composed of a student-centered design, with the following key results as a measure of impact: 1️⃣ Completion 2️⃣ Return 3️⃣ Equity in access and attainment You do not have to use the same design or strategies to achieve great outcomes; many models can have an incredible impact based on a clear mission, priorities, and other distinctive characteristics. Here are several institutions that long ago set out on a quest to produce economic safety and mobility for their students. Let us celebrate these fantastic leaders and their institutions: 👏🏼 Scott Pulsipher, Western Governors University 👏🏼 E. LaBrent Chrite, Bentley University 👏🏼 Michael Reeser, Texas State Technical College 👏🏼 Judy Olian, Quinnipiac University Each one is unique, each one with fantastic outcomes for its students! #education #highered #leadership #management #asugsv

Research conducted by the executive search firm Academic Search identified seven core competencies that are essential for a modern #collegepresident: 🫱🏻🫲🏾#Trust building 💪🏾Demonstrating resilience 🗣#Communication savvy 👥️Crafting a cabinet and team building 🧠#Emotionalintelligence 🦸🏾♀️Leading with courage While these competencies are not ranked, it's not surprising to see 'trust' at the top of respondents' minds: ‼️96 percent of respondents emphasized that presidents need to behave “in a way that is trustworthy, consistent and accountable.” As a #Blackfemale in #highereducation, I recognize how vital these qualities are, especially for addressing the needs of structurally excluded populations. It's not just about possessing these competencies on paper; it's about embodying them to foster real change. With Madison Area Technical College in the midst of finding our next president, our board has the responsibility to select a leader who genuinely embodies these core values. This is our opportunity to bring in a new leader who will truly support improving institutional systems and structures that disadvantage our minoritized students and employees. Thank you to Inside Higher Ed for sharing these insights with the higher education community. #InstitutionalChange #IDEAS #DEI #Leadership
