Broughton, Mangum selected for Learning & Leadership cohort

Dr. Phyllis Broughton and Ms. Laura Mangum were selected as part of the 2021 BB&T Active Learning and Leadership Program.

This program provides an opportunity for participants to explore and experiment with adding a leadership-related focus into the materials that they are currently using their courses.

“Through a cycle of exploring, piloting, reflecting, and preparing for future semesters, you will learn alongside colleagues about ways we can equip and empower the future leaders of our campus, community, and world,” program materials say.

Ten faculty are selected for each year’s cohort and each faculty member are provided $1,000 in support.

The objectives of the program are to:

  1. Explore ideas about infusing leadership skill development with active learning of course content.
  2. Pilot at least four assignments or activity adjustments designed to facilitate content learning in such a way that enables students to simultaneously build leadership-relevant skills and dispositions.
  3. Reflect on learning that occurs during the pilot activities, refine those activities/assignments and prepare for infusing a leadership emphasis into the course in the future based on this experience.
  4. Share ideas and lessons with colleagues at ECU and members of the next Active Learning & Leadership cohort.
