My work included facilitating the arrival of our new Dean, assuring the passage of amended College By-Laws and guiding them through the ratification process with our Board of Trustees, establishing priorities for the College growing from our strategic planning process, and chairing the College Personnel Committee during numerous tenure and promotion decisions. The CSC agenda for the 2003-2004 academic year included these goals and objectives. I was responsible for guiding our work. Overarching Vision: Creating a Healthy Community. For us, a Healthy Community:

Is known for breaking down hierarchies and divisions that needlessly separate and belittle everyone

Is proud and knowledgeable of its members’ achievements Agrees to a clear direction and measures progress regularly Is far more proactive than reactive Asserts its mission in positive terms confidently and often to all audiences, both

internal and external until these values are shared and the place of the College of Education is beyond question within the University and in the wider community

Over the course of this academic year we measured progress regularly. 1. Implementing the By-Laws: Goals in Place:

Vice Chair Committees established Student Appeals Committee Formed Annual Plan initiated through the Strategic Planning Committee’s work Voting Delegates from Clerical-Admin Assistants. Voting Delegates from undergrads, part time faculty.

40

2. Follow-Through on our four key items: Goal on the way:

New faculty progress through the very hard work of the Search Committee. Balance between scholarship-teaching-service. Dialogue and a start. This is an

ongoing issue that has been discussed in Strategic Planning. Yet to do:

Increased funding for qualified students. Increased emphasis on multi-cultural education.

3. Initiating an early, sustained dialogue with Dean McGuire: Goal in Place:

We have met with the Dean throughout the semester at the Steering Committee and in Strategic Planning.

The Dean has attended two Collegial Assemblies Strategic Planning Committee is working with the Dean on models of change for

the College The Dean has attended numerous Collegial Assemblies Strategic Planning Committee met with the Dean putting in a great deal of work

to help move the College forward. 4. Work with Temple University’s managed schools.

Yet to Do: This is an ongoing and evolving issue.

5. Improved Communications: Goal in Place: The goals we have set are now in place

Our notes have become very detailed and clear. Two newsletters describing CSC’s work The first end of year awards celebration of scholarship-teaching-service

Throughout my time as Chair of the CSC, I tried to engender a strong sense of community in the College. Small things like the Vermont Pancake Breakfast, and more important things like more frequent Collegial Assemblies were part of that effort. I see these as challenging years and ones of transition for the College and the University. I hope that my leadership helped us to remember who we are, what our mission has been and how we might translate that into the future. My proudest achievement was to make our bylaws a living document and that helps to spread a truly democratic atmosphere. 1999-2001 Merit committee 2000- Strategic Planning committee. In the case of strategic planning, I took responsibility to help design a process whereby faculty from departments and standing committees could air their views for the College’s future. I also facilitated several meetings as a part of that process. 1999- Zahn Library committee work resulted in a report at first designed to meet NCATE needs but went far beyond to help develop that resource so that it would be more functional for the entire College community. Work is still on-going.

These events were integrated into the New DEEL conference and brought numerous alumnae back to the College. 2007: Alumni Development Committee 2007: New Course Design I designed a new course Profiles in Democratic-Ethical Leadership which has been approved by the College. This course was offered for the first time in the fall 2007 semester. It is the first course in the nation to take the concepts in the New DEEL and put them into practice for graduate students and now is part of a over-all curriculum project to re-design our field. 2007: Redesign of the Principal Education: Our department responded to a request for proposals from the Pennsylvania Department of Education for a thorough redesign of principal education. Along with one other colleague, I was responsible for program mission and strategic direction. 2001-2003: Coordinator of Educational Administration: My work included facilitating recruitment and admissions for masters and doctoral students, initiating our Program’s strategic planning process, leading curriculum mapping in all courses to help assure success for our students who must take state standardized tests for principal certification, and meeting with numerous students to help solve problems and successfully complete their degree programs.

1999- Qualitative research collaborative and Accountability/High Stakes Testing Research. I organized four colleagues and one graduate student to pursue research into qualitative software in the field of accountability and high stakes testing. National presentations, papers submitted to journals and a pilot grant have been the result of this effort. 1999-: Regional Leadership Workshops. I have helped Dr. Donald Walters to plan and conduct twice yearly meetings for area principals and superintendents of schools on topics such as testing for new administrators and the accountability movement. 1999-2000 Thousand Voices from the Firing Line.” This project, originated by the University Council for Educational Administration, involved a focus group session of area principals and superintendents. I helped to plan the meeting, facilitated the session with superintendents and reviewed session transcripts. This has led, through continued work, to the creation of an on-going group of area administrators that meets regularly.

Gross, S.J. (2009) Organized and executed a successful campaign to give Joan Shapiro the UCEA Master Professor Award. (The Master Professor Award is one of the highest honors that UCEA can bestow on any scholar and reflects a life time of dedication to scholarship, teaching, and service at the highest level. It was my pleasure to organize this process for Dr. Shapiro since she was so deserving. This task involved inviting scholars, students, and administrators from around the world to write letters of support, to draft my own letter, and to organize all of the incoming material in a timely way so that the UCEA committee received it on time and in good fashion. It was also my happy duty to be there to present the award to Joan at the annual UCEA convention.) Gross, S.J. (2008-) Ethics committee UCEA (service) Meeting: UCEA Ethics Committee (For the past three years, I have participated in the development of a code of ethics for UCEA.

Since the UCEA convention was held Alexandria, Virginia in 2007, leaders from the field and from UCEA decided it was a good time to visit congressional offices and

44

relevant offices of the US Department of Education. I helped to plan the event. I also helped to train the forty-five UCEA delegates before the Capital Hill visits. Along with my colleagues, I made visits to congress (in my case meeting with Vermont’s Senator Sanders’ chief aid) as well to the US Department of Education. These visits promoted the cause of high quality programs to educate future leaders in primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. 2004- The New DEEL (Democratic-Ethical Educational Leadership) Project: With colleagues from the US, Canada and Australia, I am leading an effort to change the course of educational leadership. Our goal is to guide the next generation of educational leaders to be true to the principles of democracy and a robust understanding of ethics in their work. 1999- Global Dialogue Institute: I have worked with colleagues from Temple University (Professor Leonard Swidler) and Haverford (Professor Ashok Gangadean) to develop more dialogic educational approaches. Much of our work has centered in Indonesia. I have made two trips to Indonesia and have taught a course called “Whole Child Education” which was sponsored by UNICEF. I have also planned and helped to train Indonesian Ministry of Education officials and high ranking UNICEF staff in democratic classroom development. Tour Leader: China Study Tour: A visit to four Chinese cities for regional educators 1989 & 1992 National: Peace Corps: World Wise Schools. I advocated for Vermont to become a World Wise State (please see attached description of the process) and I presented the proposal to the state board of education that made it official.
