Overview
All too often in higher education, individuals move into a supervisory role without the necessary tools and skills to be successful. Particularly in today’s challenging environments, effective supervision is key to building an effective culture where each individual can contribute to team success.
Join us online for a four-week course specifically designed for higher education supervisors who are new to their roles or looking to deepen their skills.
Who Will Benefit
This program is designed for those managing professional staff, graduate assistants, or students who are new to their role or want to deepen their supervisory skills and style.
How it Works
Consume our supervisor curriculum over the course of 4 weeks. Each week you’ll have an average of 2.5 hours of work that can be completed on-demand. The course will be capped off with a live session in your 4th week of the course.
Get a weekly email with on-demand videos, and activities that can be completed on your lunch break over the course of the week.
Attend a live session during your final week to ask question and interact with the instructor and peers from around the country. It will be recorded and available on-demand for those who can’t attend live.
Earn a certificate of completion.
