ODL-688 Personal Leadership Development IV

2 semester credits
The ODL personal leadership development series is a sustaining and distinctive thread that runs throughout the entire ODL journey. Personal Leadership Development IV is designed to assist students as they begin their Master’s Project (ODL-690 ) to develop their specific action inquiry proposal for the final project. The process involves each participant leading a discussion on a focused intervention to produce change or increase knowledge (or both), with a small group of colleagues and faculty serving as scholar/practitioner consultants. In addition, Personal Leadership IV shifts intention and attention from internal to external considerations and from the student declaring their vocation to their claiming their “work in the world.” Through the development of a formal Learning Commitment, students define their vocation (interpreted as the intersection between their deep gladness and their contribution to the world) and design their own plan of action to declare and claim it. Students reflect on how they are showing up in their external environments, where they are experiencing their learning edge as well as their “deep gladness,” and how their Theory of Practice and Learning Commitments align with their values and deep purpose. Students reflect more deeply on their external engagements while building their capacity to reflect “in action” as well as “on their action.
