Attention Instructors!
As you work on the syllabi for your upcoming courses, we wanted to draw your attention to the great pool of resources we have built here at the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS). We have a number of teaching cases and teaching tools, all grounded in POS research; they have been used successfully in both academic and corporate settings. Please explore the listings under the Teaching and Practice Materials tab of the navigation bar for more information, including related research and media coverage and a video demo of the Job Crafting Exercise. Teaching notes for the cases are available through the Ross Teaching Materials website, linked from the Teaching Cases page. Please contact Janet Max at jmax@umich.edu or (734) 647-8154 if you have any questions, or would like the teaching notes for either of our teaching tools, the Job Crafting Exercise or the Reflected Best Self Exercise. Our POS Cases and Tools flyer also provides brief description of each product.
