EDU675 EDU/675 EDU 675 Week 3 DQ 1/Discussion 1 Leadership Conference Poster Session -NEW Leadership
Conference Poster Session. This discussion provides an opportunity to connect your personalized leadership strengths
and motivation with your skills as a leader to further develop into an efficient change agent. Being an effective leader
who successfully implements change in a school or other organization can be a challenge! Kouzes and Posner (2007)
claimed ?leadership is an identifiable set of skills that are available to all of us, not just a few charismatic men and
women? (p.20). While this may be true, it takes work and inspiration to learn about yourself and the characteristics that
build an effective leader. There are multiple theories that indicate that effective leaders can be cultivated through the
deliberate acquisition of certain skills (Senge, 1990). According to Senge (1990, p.3): ?organizations where people
continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking
are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together.
By cultivating these abilities and knowing our own strengths, we can become leaders who can have a significant impact
on our classroom, school site, or other organization. You previously read chapter two of Buczynski and Hansen (2014),
which discussed the various types of leadership and the mix of behaviors and other skills that are necessary to be an
effective leader. Lord and Hall, as cited in Buczynski and Hansen (p. 57) suggest the ?leadership role must become part
of one?s self-identity.? Chapter two is an effective source of information for this discussion as well. Digital poster
presentations are increasingly the norm in the field of education as well as other professions. The use of technology in
these types of forums is becoming essential in staying updated and competitive in the field. It is essential that you have
experience in creating a digital poster presentation. Here you imagine you are presenting a high quality digital
presentation to a group of key stakeholders regarding your action research. Therefore, the purpose of this discussion is
to link your personalized leadership motivation into your skills as a leader in order to further develop into an efficient
change agent. In this case, the change you are instigating is conducted through your action research. This process, in
turn, greatly affects your followers, and the organization in which you work. Being motivated to understand and invest in
your strengths and areas of challenges greatly informs your practice (Rath & Conchie, 2008). Initial Post: Imagine you
are selected from a large pool of applicants to participate in a distinguished conference poster session focusing on
leadership strategies in action research. Your goals are to create a one page digital poster that includes three leadership
and motivation themes identified from this week?s readings and your experiences, including a one-sentence explanation
of each selected theme, and stating the ways leadership and motivational traits are represented in your action research
study. Be sure to design the poster so that it is professional in appearance and therefore appropriate for presentation at
the conference poster session. As you create your poster, consider what you have learned about what makes
professional presentations effective and appealing to an audience. In this case, there will be well-known authors, experts
in the field, and influential participants present including stakeholders in your own action research study. Use Glogster,
Word, PowerPoint, or other software of your choice to create the poster and post the link to the flyer in your initial post or
attach the poster to your initial post, whichever is most appropriate for the technology you chose. Guided Response: As
an instructional leader, you are embedding your leadership and motivational traits into your own continuous
development as you complete this course and move towards the attainment of your own professional goals. Your action
research is a part of this continuous development. For responses to this discussion, review the digital posters created
and posted by your classmates in the discussion board. You are to select at least two to provide constructive feedback
on the following: a. Content b. How leadership would affect the change process, and c. Use of effective technology
and/or critique of layout, design, and use of graphics in creating the flyer. In your responses, consider items such as: a.
Professional appearance b. Quality of responses to the prompts c. Overall presentation. Remember, though two replies
is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any
comments or questions others have given to you including the instructor before the last day of the discussion. This will
