NASJE Curriculum Design - Governance Entry Level - Participant Activities

1.1.3.2 Examining Stakeholder-Based Governance (2pg/.06MB)

National Association of State Judicial Educators (NASJE)

Notes:
Governance Entry-Level Faculty Resource Examining Stakeholder-Based Governance

Description:

1.1.3.2 Examining Stakeholder-Based Governance

Purpose of activity

This activity engages judicial branch educators in seeing how their local stakeholder-based governance entity can benefit or inhibit judicial branch educational efforts.  Because the stakeholder-based governance entity may be open to change, this activity can provide judicial branch educators with some ideas about how to restructure this group locally.  In addition, learners may identify the skills and abilities they need to function effectively in a blended governance environment.  Because there may be a variety of sources or models of stakeholder-based governance entities represented in any group of learners, faculty needs to be prepared for broad and diverse feedback on this activity.

Use of activity

This activity would be effective if used after explaining what governance is and the specifics of stakeholder-based governance [see A, Governance, subparts a, Definition, b, Organizational, institutional, or administrative governance, and c, Stakeholder-based governance, pgs. 9 – 10 in the curriculum design].  If a wide range of stakeholder-based governance entities is not represented among the learners, after judicial branch educators have discussed their stakeholder governance entities, faculty may choose to generate a discussion about any levels or aspects of stakeholder-based governance that are not represented and their potential benefits and drawbacks.

This is an individual activity, but a collective discussion is necessary to fulfill the learning objective.

Relevant Learning Objective

• List the benefits and drawbacks of stakeholder-based governance models, including policy, advisory, program, and course planning committees, as well as task forces and work groups.
