Year One Session Five: Mapping Educational Opportunities
Remember… • “How well do we accomplish our educational intentions?” • “How do we know?” (Adapted from Maki, 2004)
Mapping Opportunities How do our intended student outcomes align with the educational opportunities we offer? • For example, • If we say we expect students to conduct original research, where do we provide opportunities for them to develop the skills necessary to do so? • If we say we expect students to recognize their responsibilities for civic choices, where do we provide them the opportunities to explore / identify such responsibilities?
Alignment “…specifies which outcomes will be introduced and supported in each” [educational activity / experience] (Allen, 2006). • Within courses • Across courses • Across the General Education program • Within programs / activities • Across programs / activities • Across the whole of the College
So, how do we “map”? Identify our intended outcomes. Identify the educational opportunities we provide. Determine where educational opportunities introduce skills, reinforce skills, and/or demand skill mastery. (see grid) I = Introduced R = Reinforced M = Mastered
So, how do we “map”? • Concepts are… • Introduced (I) • Reinforced (R) • Mastered (M) • Concepts are… • Introduced (I) • Enhanced (E) • Practiced (P) • Mastered (M) • Concepts are… • Introduced (I) • Developed (D) • Emphasized (E) • Concepts are… • Introduced (I) • Reinforced (R) • Expected (E) • Concepts are… • [use your own terms]

Your Turn Sharing… What are your intended outcomes? Where do you provide opportunities? What else?
