摘要：While educational development has long been aligned with organizational development in theliterature (Berquist & Phillips, 1975; Gaffe, 1975), in practice this link has faded with time.Schroeder (2011) has recently asserted that given the broad-based changes in teaching and learningthat are taking place at universities, it is important that educational developers take an organizationaldevelopment role and lead institutional level changes in teaching and learning (p. 1-2). For many ofus, it has not been apparent how to initiate or clarify a leadership role in organizational development.We share the story of how we came to recognize that our role in leading an institutional changeinitiative to re-envision classroom spaces was organizational development. We contextualize ourexperience in a way that makes it meaningful for practitioners seeking to clarify or enhance theirown organizational development roles. From our experience, we have gleaned lessons that might beof use to colleagues in the field. First, organizational development should become part of acurriculum for educational developers. Second, we should move from intuition to intention in ourorganizational development efforts.
