| Title | Mentoring, Leadership, and Change Institute |
| Body | From http://nflrc.iastate.edu/inst/homepage.html Mentoring, Leadership, and Change: Designing Compelling Experiences for 21st Century Learners Iowa State University July 19-26, 2006 Institute Purpose To empower participants to initiate, implement, and sustain change on multiple levels (individual, departmental, program, district, university, local community, state, regional, or national) regarding a facet of foreign language education that is personally meaningful to them (such as curriculum development, classroom instruction and assessment, program advocacy and articulation, professional development, or policy issues). Institute Objectives - To develop, refine, and synthesize professional knowledge, skills, and expertise in focus areas that are likely to affect the foreign language profession in profound ways over the next decade; - To equip and empower foreign language professionals (already tapped as mentors and leaders in their schools and organizations) to assume some of the roles and responsibilities of a retiring cadre of national leaders; - To strengthen professional networks of associations through collaboration; - To promote "cross fertilization" in experience and expertise through mentoring; - To explore the nature of compelling experiences, extract key concepts and principles of design from them, and apply them to educational contexts; - To experiment with the use of new technologies and their applications (such as aggregators, blogs, cyberportfolios, digital storytelling, machinima, podcasting, RSS feeds, social bookmarking, vlogging, vodcasting, and wikis) as powerful pedagogical tools; - To acquire research-based techniques for initiating, implementing, and sustaining positive change in a wide variety of contexts.
