The model of governance encompasses the information and skills every <br /> successful public manager requires. Each Rocky Mountain Program module <br /> contributes to the governance model. <br /> Sessions are highly interactive and include use of a wide variety of training methods, <br /> including case studies, simulations, problem-solving exercises, interactive <br /> discussions, videos, and lectures. Time is set aside for personal reflection, reading, <br /> and writing. <br /> Although most examples and case studies are from state government and local <br /> jurisdictions, the lessons learned are applicable to all levels of government. <br /> Please note that The Centers reserves the right to amend the curriculum in order to <br /> accommodate the most recent and relevant developments in the field. <br /> 2002 Curriculum Modules <br /> A Meeting of the Minds: <br /> Provides participants the opportunity to more clearly understand their personal <br /> .thinking styles and the styles of others: The instrument used offers a whole brain <br /> approach to thinking styles, is validated based on genetics and environment, and <br /> allows comparison with the larger population.
