Message-ID: <8775EA78FE232744BC67431D563D6B4A169C8D@postman1.osrhe.edu> Subject: The Educators' Leadership Academy (ELA) is accepting applications for its 2009/2010 classes. The Educators' Leadership Academy (ELA) is accepting applications for its 2009/2010 classes. In addition to the Combination Academy (K-12, career tech, and higher education administrators), and Outstanding Professors' Academy, we're offering a NEW Higher Ed Department Chair Academy. The Educators' Leadership Academy (ELA) is designed to provide quality leadership training to educational leaders comparable to that offered to many upper level executives in successful organizations. The interactive design of the program enhances leadership abilities and provides tremendous enrichment through the discussion, exploration and application of ideas with administrators representing higher education institutions. ELA creates an optimum environment for education to flourish including the building of collaborative networks among educators across the system. Institutions have been so pleased with the results of ELA that they send several new leaders each year. By the end of 2009, over 1500 educators will have successfully completed an ELA academy. In its 11th year, the Combination Academy is a combination of K-12, career tech, and higher ed administrators. The program begins June 23, 2009 with an extended session over three days and has four follow-up sessions (Each follow-up session is 1? days.) held at various locations throughout the academic year, concluding in March. The sessions are facilitated by proven educational leaders on various leadership topics bringing the content to life through the use of relevant examples, lively discussion and the incorporation of supplemental leadership research, concepts and materials. Tuition is $1500 and includes meals, lodging, and study material for all sessions held from June through March. *NEW* The Higher Ed Department Chair Academy is designed to provide the essential tools higher education department chairs need to accomplish administrative tasks as well as leadership development. Applications will be accepted from new and current department chairs, school directors, deans, and associate and assistant deans. The program starts May 17, 2009 with an extended session over three days finishing with a presentation on creative problem solving by Dr. Gerard Puccio, author of the book Creative Leadership (2007). Four follow-up sessions (Each follow-up session is 1? days.) will be held at various locations in September, November, January, and March. Tuition is $2,000 and includes meals, lodging, and study material for all sessions held from May through March. Objectives: * Discuss strategies for bridging the divide between faculty and administration. * Analyze effective hiring and scheduling methodologies and apply them to their role as a department chair/school director. * Correlate the relationship between effective planning and effective budgeting. * Analyze use of time, apply strategies that improve time management abilities, and appreciate the impact the strategies have on reducing stress and increasing effectiveness. * Discuss techniques of conducting and writing an effective performance evaluation. * Outline proven techniques for handling difficult conversations; writing effective reports, emails and memos; and communicating clearly with others. * Analyze techniques for leading within the department/school culture. * Describe the skills necessary to coach and mentor faculty. * Strategies to avoid conflict and manage it when it occurs. In its 10th year, the Outstanding Professors' Academy (OPA) has been specifically tailored for professors to assist them in their crucial role as educator/leader. The professors meet four times during the academic year beginning in September, at various locations throughout the state, concluding in March. Each session is 1? days. Sessions are scheduled on Friday night and Saturday so not much, if any, school is missed by the faculty. Tuition is $800 for a double room and $900 for a single. The tuition includes meals, lodging, and study material for the four sessions held from September through March. Please visit the ELA website http://www.uco.edu/ela for more program information, applications, and to view the informational video. Application deadlines are: February 28, 2009 for the Higher Ed Department Chair Academy, and March 27, 2009 for the Combination, Professors. The importance of educators and institutions of higher education as models and conduits for leadership is appreciated. The quality and wisdom of your choices is making a difference in the quality of individual lives.

Working closely with President-elect Barack Obama, House Democrats called for $825 billion altogether in federal spending and tax cuts to revive the economy, with strong emphasis on energy, education, health care, and jobs-producing highway construction. The legislation calls for federal spending of roughly $550 billion and tax cuts of $275 billion over the next two years--totals certain to change as the measure works its way through Congress. A good chunk of the money is ticketed for education, including money for schools and colleges to shield them from the effects of state cutbacks in services, as well as tax credits designed to make college more affordable. "We will enable students of all ages to learn in 21st-century classrooms, labs, and libraries to help our students compete with any worker in the world," reads a press release about the proposal, called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. The education portion of the bill includes: - $41 billion to boost learning in local K-12 school districts through Title I ($13 billion), IDEA ($13 billion), a new School Modernization and Repair Program ($14 billion), and the Education Technology block-grant program ($1 billion); - $79 billion in state fiscal relief to prevent cutbacks to key services, including $39 billion to local school districts and public colleges and universities using existing formulas, $15 billion to states as bonus grants for meeting key performance measures, and $25 billion to states for other high-priority needs, such as preventing the layoffs of public safety and other critical employees, including teachers; - $6 billion in school modernization funds for colleges and universities; and - Funding to make college more affordable, including $15.6 billion to increase the maximum Pell Grant amount by $500, from $4,850 to $5,350, and tax credits for up to $2,500 per year spent in college tuition. Democratic leaders in Congress have pledged to have a bill ready for Obama to sign by mid-February. Obama's top aides have worked closely in recent days with Democrats in Congress to shape legislation that generally adheres to the president-elect's wishes. At the same time, lawmakers departed dramatically in one area, jettisoning the incoming administration's call to give a $3,000 tax credit for each new job created by private companies. Another key priority of the new administration was preserved, though. The summary calls for a tax credit of $500 per worker and $1,000 per working couple. The measure does not include money to help middle-class taxpayers ensnared in the so-called Alternative Minimum Tax, which was originally designed to prevent the extremely wealthy from avoiding payment of taxes. Several officials said the Senate was likely to include that provision in its version of the bill, a step that could push the overall total close to $900 billion. With unemployment rising, and applications for various forms of federal aid keeping pace, the legislation calls for increased spending on food stamps, unemployment insurance, and job training. House leaders also called for $30 billion for highway construction and $10 billion for mass transit and rail. The summary claimed there would be "unprecedented accountability" in how funds are spent and said the bill would include no earmarks, the pet projects that lawmakers are fond of. In addition, Democrats said all announcements of contracts and grant competitions would be posted on a web site to be created by the new administration. "This recovery package is the first crucial step in a concerted effort to create and save 3 to 4 million jobs, jumpstart our economy, and transform it for the 21st century," the release says. "This plan means real change: It will strengthen the middle class, not just Wall Street CEOs and special interests in Washington." To strengthen America's ability to compete in a global economy, the bill provides $10 billion for science facilities, research, and instrumentation "to focus American brainpower on solving the energy and climate challenges and finding cures and treatments for diseases," and another $6 billion to expand broadband internet access "so businesses in rural and other underserved areas can link up to the global economy. For every dollar invested in broadband, the economy sees a ten-fold return on that investment," the release says. Funds for energy-related programs were sprinkled throughout the legislation, reflecting a priority not only of Obama, but also House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and numerous lawmakers in both houses of Congress. Included is $32 billion to upgrade the nation's electrical distribution system, more than $20 billion in tax cuts to promote the development of alternatives to oil fuels, and billions more to make public housing, federal buildings, and modest-income homes more energy-efficient. At $825 billion, the legislation would be one of the largest bills ever to move through Congress, and by traditional standards, lawmakers were moving with unusual speed. House committees are working on a schedule that calls for votes next week on parts of the bill, which would then be advanced to the floor for a vote during the last week of January. A companion measure is expected to move along roughly the same timeline in the Senate, and congressional leaders have expressed confidence they would be able to agree on a final version by the time of a scheduled vacation coinciding with Presidents' Day, Feb. 16. Other items in the measure include funds for state and local law-enforcement officials and money to computerize health records, a key priority of the incoming president. Businesses would be able to reduce their taxes through a provision that expands their ability to write off current losses again past profits, and by accelerating the depreciation of new plants and equipment. First-time homeowners also would get a break. The bill eliminates the requirement for them to repay a new $7,500 tax credit created in a housing measure that passed last summer. The measure calls for $90 billion to help the states meet the rising cost of providing health care for the poor in the recession, and another $39 billion to subsidize coverage by out-of-work wage-earners who cannot afford the cost of their employer-covered health care.
