(1st class meeting September 4, 2008)

This class will examine current ideas, research, and ideas about leadership.  We will read a core set of books together to understand new ideas that are impacting leadership today.  During the class we will examine models of leadership, storytelling in organizations, the nature of distributed leadership, trust and organizational success, branding, as well as other current issues and models.  The class will consider the ways these ideas can be applied to leadership in educational organizations.  The course will be in a seminar format and involve a major project and considerable reading.

The books for the class may include: The Leadership Challenge; Storytelling and Branding; Distributed Leadership; Trust Matters; The Tipping Point;  Made to Stick.

ELPA Student reminders:

• If you are not taking a UWMadison course next semester, you must enroll in their "Zero credit course." Contact Shari Smith to obtain permission to enroll before the semester starts.
• Coop students are eligible for financial aid from UW Madison as long as you are enrolledd at least half-time (6 credits). You can mix and match Oshkosh and Madison credits to total six. Contact Cheng Her in Student Financial Services (608-262-3060) at UWMadison to complete and submit a consortium agreement forms or if you have questions.
• If you have student loans that are in deferment, keep in mind that each University reports enrollments to the National Student Loan Clearing House. Your UW Madison and UW Oshkosh enrollment is not combined. If you are at least a half-time student (6 credits) and need UW Madison to report you as such, you will need to contact the Registrar's Office at UW Madison, inform them you are in the cooperative program, and provide them with your UW Oshkosh transcirpt that shows your enrollment for the current semester. You will need to do this every term.
