The ALD program provides faculty leaders with the tools and skills to navigate the myriad of issues that arise with leadership roles, a need identified by the University-wide Committee on Teaching and Faculty Development and the Human Resources Department. Designed for Tufts' academic leaders (academic deans, department chairs, program directors, etc.) the ALD is a five-module program offered in six half-day sessions over three months that addresses: 1) role of academic leader, 2) academic leader as university agent, 3) communications and conflict resolution, 4) managing change, and 5) role as coach and mentor. Each module includes learning objectives, pre-work for the participants, presentations and activities. ALD programs are offered once per semester for 16-20 faculty leaders through an application process. The University's office of Human Resources/Organizational Development and Training (ODT), the Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CELT), and the Office of the Provost (OP) partner to coordinate the ALD.
