The C. Charles Jackson Foundation (CCJF) has awarded ILA with a $7,000
grant to expand our online Directory of Leadership Programs with the
inclusion of course syllabi. The Directory was originally launched with
the help of a CCJF grant and currently lists 1549 degree, minor, or certificate
programs in universities and colleges in 36 countries around the world.
Shortly after the directory launched, ILA staff began working with the
Resource Team of the Leadership Education Member Interest Group (MIG)
to create a framework for adding syllabi to the database as a logical next
step in the expanding the usefulness of the directory to leadership education
programs. “This grant,” pointed out Natalie Coers, Resource Team Lead for the
Leadership Education MIG “is an exciting opportunity to aid in populating the
syllabi database.”
One unique aspect of the database is that it will serve not only as a listing
of links, but as an actual archive for leadership syllabi. With more and more
syllabi disappearing behind the online gates of proprietary courseware, having
a single publicly accessible repository of syllabi on hand becomes essential for
leadership educators to build on and learn from each other’s approaches.
Submitting to the database is an easy 2-step process. In the first step, a
professor fills out a short online form which extracts key information from a
syllabus to make it more easily searchable. In the second step, the professor
emails the syllabus to ILA using a special link on the website.
“The combined efforts of ILA members and ILA staff through the grant will
enable the database to be a functional resource for all ILA members,” enthused
Natalie. “Thank you for your contribution to this great resource!”
