This six session, certificate program offers in-depth training for supervisors and managers who seek to establish or enhance the broad range of knowledge, skills, and abilities required for effective supervision. The SLDP is organized around the core practices of:    Managing Self; Managing Others; Managing the Work; and Managing the Systems. The program covers topics such as Performance Management, Creating a Respectful Workplace, Organizing and Delegating, and Legal Issues and Campus Policies.

In this program, you will have the opportunity to talk and network with others who may share the same challenges, triumphs, and experiences of supervision. We will explore the scope of management practices for intentional, effective supervision. The series will also pay particular attention to increasing supervisory expertise in diversity and multiculturalism as an integral aspect of successful supervisory leadership.

The SLDP monthly offers the same curriculum as the weekly series. Six sessions are offered in succession over a five month period to assist employees who might find it difficult to attend a weekly program.

These monthly sessions are also open to those who were not able to finish their class work in a previous SLDP program, and wish to complete their SLDP certification.
