    ARP 610: Educational Leadership


    Artifact of Learning
    Danny Oliveira
    San Diego State University

    ARP 610 - ARTIFACT OF LEARNING


    The course assignment that I chose to demonstrate my learning in
    this course was the Observation and Analysis of Postsecondary
    Educational Leadership. This was an interview and observation of a
    postsecondary educational leader and the leadership style and
    approach to leadership that they employ throughout their workday. I
    observed how this leader uses the cognitive organizational lenses that
    were introduced in our coursework in a variety of ways as she adapts
    to various contexts. I also observed her application of leadership
    theory and concepts discussed in our readings and class discussions.
    I selected this particular artifact because it demonstrates all but
    one of the course learning outcomes. It was a valuable experience to
    observe a professional in a leadership position that I aspire to in the
    future. I enjoyed the opportunity to observe the application of
    concepts learned in the course and how leadership styles and
    frameworks vary according to context and situations.
    The following course learning outcomes and Program Learning
    Outcomes (PLOs) were demonstrated in this assignment: 1)
    Identification of effective leadership and related practices in
    postsecondary education. This leaders flexibility and ability to adapt
    her leadership approach to various contexts and individuals whom she
    supervises was a clear demonstration of effective leadership (PLO 4).
    2) Articulation of basic principles and assumptions of current and
    emerging leadership theories and frameworks. This leader most

    clearly demonstrated the Human Resources framework (Bolman &
    Deal, 2008) and Team Leadership approach (Northouse, 2013) in the
    two days in which I observed and shadowed her (PLO 1, 9). 3)
    Differentiation of leadership and management was demonstrated in
    her differentiated approach with her professional staff and student
    assistants. She empowers her staff to work autonomously to promote
    their own growth and development while providing more of a
    structured approach for her student assistants as a means to provide
    guidance and support in their learning and empowerment (PLO 4). 4)
    Application of leadership theories, frameworks, and concepts to
    educational and professional contexts. The opportunity to observe this
    leader in action in the various ways that she applies her leadership
    style and approach in different contexts was very effective for my
    learning and understanding of these concepts, theories, and
    frameworks (PLO 4, 9). 5) Demonstration of effective self-reflection
    and observation. Shadowing this professional over two days was not
    only a powerful demonstration of effective leadership, it challenged me
    to reflect on my own leadership skills, strengths, and areas for
    continued growth as I move toward my own opportunities to apply
    effective leadership practices. (PLO 5)
    This artifact enabled me to connect to my personal goal of being
    committed and fully engaged in my education and personal growth.
    My observations of an effective professional in a leadership role

    ARP 610 - ARTIFACT OF LEARNING


    deepened my commitment to a career in Student Affairs and in being
    truly engaged in my learning and development. Her demonstration of
    the empowerment of her staff and students with whom she interacts
    was a powerful reminder of why I have returned to a career in higher
    education.
    This artifact also connected to my professional goal of gaining
    experience in other areas of student affairs outside of my prior
    experience in fraternity and sorority life. I am most interested in
    working with first generation and underrepresented students in my
    next career and this assignment provided an opportunity to observe
    and interact with staff in the EOP and Ethnic Affairs department of
    SDSU.
    I have no recommendations to improve this course. I
    appreciated the collaborative approach of the instructor and teaching
    assistant. They were extremely effective as facilitators of class
    discussions, which clarified and personalized the concepts discussed
    each week.
