Austin, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/17/2018 --The National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) and Richland Community College announced they will co-host a Regional Workshop scheduled for December 7, 2018, in Decatur, Illinois.
NISOD's Regional Workshops bring professional development closer to faculty, administrators, and staff through intensive one-day gatherings held in strategic locations throughout the country. These localized options help bring some of NISOD's outstanding resources closer to colleges in an effort to save them time and money.
The Illinois Regional Workshop, titled Emotional Intelligence, Efficacy, and Success, explores ways faculty and other professional colleagues can increase students' success, professional growth, and collaboration skills by improving their attitudes toward work, relationships, and learning.
David R. Katz III, executive director of organizational development at Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC), will facilitate the workshop. In his role at MVCC, David creates, implements, and oversees programs that develop a vibrant culture of personal and professional enrichment that reinforces the college's goals focused on student success and empowerment.
"Now more than ever, community college educators need to know what works to improve student achievement," said Edward J. Leach, NISOD's executive director. "David Katz will provide the best ideas and proven strategies for identifying, nurturing, and developing students' talents, rather than focus on their weaknesses.
