    Community Supervision Leadership Symposium 2021
The National Institute of Corrections created a first of its kind interactive webinar series with members of the Pretrial Executives, Urban Chiefs, and Probation and Parole Executives networks. The series focuses on whole system leadership; implementation science; and diversity, equity, and inclusion in the criminal justice system.

The NIC Community Services team and three nationally recognized presenters will take participants on a virtual and interactive journey that will encourage each participant and their organization to engage and learn.

This is a multi-part series that features 6 sessions. We strongly encourage everyone to plan to watch and use each of the sessions if this series is being used as a guide for your own organization.

What is covered in the series?

Learn more about implementation science principles
	Learn about ways to increase equity, diversity and inclusion in your agency
	Share experiences from other agencies with respect to each topic area
	Develop a baseline measure of your implementation capacity and a framework for fostering whole system collaborative leadership
      
            Introduction to the Symposium:

    Leadership and Implementation Science
    
    Here we will examine the first of three layers of the leadership drivers:
    
    working with self;
        working within a team;
        working within the system.We take a deep look at the difference between adaptive and technical leadership and the role it plays in successful implementation.

    Implementation Science and Staff/Organizational Competency
    
    Here we will examine the second and third of the three layers of the leadership drivers:
    
    working within a team;
        working within the system.We will explore how implementation science can help you help your staff to get to competency in their practice with staff selection, staff training, and most importantly staff coaching.  Selection, training, and coaching are three of the eight drivers of implementation.
    
    We will also explore how leaders need to work at the agency level to ensure agency competency – a much overlooked factor in effective implementation. At this stage you will have covered the basics of what are called the Active Implementation Frameworks.

    Understanding Racial & Ethnic Disparities (RED)
    
    The first video, **Understanding Racial and Ethnic Disparities**, defines racial and ethnic disparities (RED) and the disproportionate number of people of color who come into contact with the justice system.
    
    Dialogue
    
    This video will take a deeper dive into the use of **Dialogue**to enable higher levels of effective collaboration across your agency. We will look at how the Virginia Department of Corrections (VDOC) has implemented Dialogue with all of VDOC’s almost 12,000 staff. As a result, levels of staff wellbeing and collaboration have steadily increased. VDOC staff are co-creating a “healing environment” for its staff and the men and women it supervises in prison and on probation. We will examine the core practices of dialogue and how they make a difference.
