Leadership

| During November 2003 William Angliss
commenced the implementation of the Strategic People Management
Framework (SPMF). At this time a series of full day workshops
were held for all levels of management to identify the
specific skills and knowledge required to enhance managerial
and leadership skills at William Angliss.
These workshops provided invaluable
feedback for facilitating a series of management and
leadership development sessions for their managers as
part of their learning and development participation
for 2004 and beyond. Flexible opportunities were available
to all levels of management to enable participation
in the Implementatiion
of the Strategic People Management Framework.

Coaching/mentoring has been a feature of a number of
professional development programs conducted by Chisholm
Institute during 2003, but has usually been one of a
number of support strategies within a particular program.
The team at Chisholm were keen to build on the skills
already developed and to increase their pool of trained
coaches as well as provide a structure to support new
mentors and mentorees. An additional objective was to
promote a lifelong learning culture within the Institute.
The Mentoring
Pilot Program was initiated.

VUT allocated LearnScope funds to work-based project
teams to build their ICT capabilities and improve their
service delivery to clients.
The Departments saw the need to develop teachers skills
in using video and audio, to support their class room
based teaching and to develop self access resources
to implement a communal server to allow for the sharing
of files and resources across geographically diverse
campus locations.
The project Building
Video Skills for Online Learning addresses these
issues.
