Convened by: James J. Germida, Vice Provost, Faculty Relations, University of Saskatchewan
In this workshop, participants will become "active learners" as they engage in a live simulation that focuses on real-world scientific problems, employing satellite feeds and enlisting (via Skype) the help of NASA experts. The move toward active learning pedagogies can pose challenges, driving significant modifications to instructional materials, classroom activities, and assessment. Based on the vision of academic institutions today, new learning spaces will likely support teaching and learning methods that depart from previously established practices. These new facilities will change the role of faculty and drive a need for different skills sets. Assisting faculty with making the transition from how they are teaching now to how they may choose to teach in the new learning spaces can have a significant impact on both faculty performance satisfaction and learning outcomes. Professional development research has conclusively demonstrated that for professional educators to embrace and adopt new teaching ideas, they must first experience those strategies as a learner. This workshop provides a learning experience that models student-centered active learning in self-directed ways through competency-based skills. Learning Outcomes:

Now more than ever, understanding space usage and integrating campus planning components within the institution's strategic framework is critical for success. Solid planning practices must capture what is happening externally through environmental scanning as well as internally through strategic and academic planning processes. As institutions adapt to changing technologies, new ways of learning, interdisciplinary and collaborative relationships, and expanded service models for student success, space management policies and guidelines must change and adapt as well. This workshop will examine a variety of space planning topics such as identifying and interpreting key processes and data sources, discussing space utilization and management issues, reviewing guidelines by space type and their relevancy, and interpreting space needs outcomes. Examples from community colleges to research universities will be used to illustrate space planning pitfalls and practices. Participants will be presented with multiple planning scenarios using case studies and interactive group activities. Learning Outcomes:
Audience: New or established campus planners needing a deeper understanding of space planning processes and how to implement best practices and principles for their own institution’s goals and mission. Cost: Cost: $295 USD (includes workbook, continental breakfast, lunch, and refreshments) TAGS: Space Management, Space Utilization, space planning, Capital Planning, Master Planning Continuing Education Credits: Saturday, July 27, 2013, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM in Room 30E Whole Systems Change: Using Participatory Strategic Planning Methods That WorkWhole Systems Change: Using Participatory Strategic Planning Methods That WorkWhole Systems Change: Using Participatory Strategic Planning Methods That WorkPresented by: Connie Foster, Consultant, Connie Foster Facilitation and Consulting LLC; Mark Kinders, Vice President, Public Affairs, University of Central Oklahoma; BethMarie Ward, Owner, Principal, Regenerate Group

Universities and colleges face shifting landscapes that challenge old paradigms and require innovation and creativity. No longer can we create strategic plans that seldom make it to implementation. How do we create a plan that involves internal stakeholders university-wide and leverages external partners that are critical to success? How can a comprehensive top-down, bottom-up plan come to fruition? What participatory methods help us capture our practical vision, address underlying contradictions or blocks that get in the way of our vision, and determine our strategic directions? How do we go about focused implementation and bring ideas into action? In this workshop, we will explore and practice participatory, whole systems change methods and examine a case study from a university where we used these methods and implemented the plan. Learning Outcomes:

In recent years, colleges and universities have come under increasing pressure to demonstrate accountability, transparency, and evidence of continuous quality improvement. In response to these mandates, institutional leadership has a responsibility to provide stakeholders with accurate, concise, easy-to-understand, up-to-date data and information about organizational performance. In addition, in order to be effective, strategic planning efforts must be informed by current, accurate, relevant data and information regarding institutional effectiveness. Increasingly, colleges and universities are utilizing institutional dashboards and scorecards to facilitate both strategic planning and accountability efforts. Key performance indicators (KPIs) form the foundation of these institutional dashboards/scorecards. Participants in this workshop will work in small simulation teams to identify a hypothetical higher education institution's core-business/mission components and then identify the KPIs that reflect that core business. Learning Outcomes:

What makes a building or the spaces within it receive an A+ from its occupants? Research can answer questions that inform the design and construction of the very best learning spaces. But what constitutes credible evidence? What are the important questions you need to find answers to? What tools can you use to evaluate a learning space? How can you and your team develop a plan to capture this evidence so it can be used for current and future projects? This workshop shows you how to bring research thinking to the design of learning spaces. Participants will learn the elements of a successful and credible research approach, get help to formulate their research question and develop a practical research plan, and have the opportunity to compare their plans with those of other workshop participants. The result? Your ability to grow a base of research evidence for making design decisions, and you as a more effective steward of your firm's and your client's resources. Learning Outcomes:

Pusecker, Chief Administrative Officer, University of Delaware
This session combines essential background information with hands-on experience focused on financial ratio assessment for colleges and universities. Following a presentation on the critical elements of higher education financial ratio analysis, with particular attention to the Composite Financial Index (CFI), participants will measure their institution’s financial health utilizing audited financial statements. Using templates provided during the session, and guided by a former National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) senior vice president and treasurer, they will examine their financial statements to find key financial elements necessary for calculating the four key ratios that comprise the CFI. After participants have calculated one year's CFI, the results will be diagnosed. Time permitting, participants will calculate additional years’ ratios and emerging trends will be examined. NOTE: Accounting expertise/experience is not required for this session, however, participants must bring a calculator and two years of audited financial statements. Those from public institutions should bring the corresponding audited financial statements for their foundation(s). Learning Outcomes: Audience: Cost: $265 USD (includes workbook, continental breakfast, and refreshments) TAGS: Finance, Budget, Composite Financial Index, CFI, Fiscal Health Continuing Education Credits: Sunday, July 28, 2013, 8:00 AM–1:00 PM in Room 30C Seismic Times—Strategies for Campus Assessment, Metrics for Targeted InvestmentSeismic Times—Strategies for Campus Assessment, Metrics for Targeted InvestmentPresented by: Edward Denton, Vice Chancellor, Facilities Services, University of California-Berkeley; Simin Naaseh, President & CEO, Forell/Elsesser Engineers, Inc.; Marianne Repp O'Brien, Principal, SmithGroupJJR; Joseph Sugg, Assistant Vice President, University Operations, Santa Clara University

Many campuses are located in seismically active areas, either known or unknown fault zones, with buildings and infrastructure constructed under varying codes, guidelines, and criteria for risk tolerance. This workshop will help you view your campus through a seismic lens, looking at the integrated performance of all systems. It will provide methodologies to plan for the future, including specifics on how to structure a team to review the performance of integrated systems, analyze current campus conditions, weigh conditions against code and policies, develop variable performance goals for improvement, and match investment strategies with objectives. After examining two very different approaches by University of California, Berkeley and Santa Clara University, attendees will walk away with tools they can use to plan wisely for the future—to protect not only the physical environment, but the capital investment in research and individuals. Fundamental information shared in this workshop may also be applied to other natural disaster planning, such as flooding. Learning Outcomes:
