Our session focuses on distributed leadership or "all hands on deck," thereby creating a communal approach to instructional leadership within the department. In contrast, when approaching the broader university community, the department took a more unified strategic approach to instructional leadership by "taking the instructional helm." These two navigation strategies required complex approaches to collaboration and problem-solving. Thus, we will offer a case study in distributed leadership, strategic decision-making, and collaborative instructional design during a new general education curriculum implementation. This case study is meant to be more broadly applicable than the general education reform context. Session participants will learn how to navigate instructional change with more than one captain.
Participants will: 1. Identify strategies our department used to ensure appropriate information literacy concepts were integrated into the new general education curriculum. 2. Explain how distributed leadership supported the creation of information literacy resources for university faculty. 3. Determine actionable next steps for improving information literacy support at their own institution.
