Weaving a tapestry of change: Implementing SENCER on campus

Those familiar with the goals of SENCER and those who attend the regional meetings and Summer Institutes understand the transformative impact this approach has on teaching science. And while these individuals eagerly embrace SENCER and revise courses to incorporate the SENCER approach, many face the arduous task of convincing their colleagues and administrators that SENCER is a worthwhile investment. Leading change in institutions steeped in tradition can be difficult, yet some institutions do have success in implementing SENCER throughout the STEM disciplines. This chapter discusses strategies which have proven successful in implementing SENCER at a public, comprehensive university and weaves together leadership and marketing theories which can lead to a tapestry of program and institutional change. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
