| Abstract Title: | Connecting facilitation to outcomes in the Departmental Action Team model |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | University departments are complex organizations, which makes it difficult to create sustainable change in undergraduate education at the department level. This complexity means that a successful change effort requires a multifaceted approach that attends not only to the mechanics of implementing a change, but also to the relationships between the change effort and the department, the capacity of the change agents, and the culture in which the change effort is embedded. In the Departmental Action Team (DAT) project, we support teams of faculty, students, and staff in effecting changes to some aspect of undergraduate education in their department. DATs are structured to address the complexity of departmental change, and are facilitated by members of our project team. We present our project's model of facilitation and theory of change, which connects the actions of DAT facilitators to the outcomes that DATs were designed to achieve. |
