Challenges
Conflict between “Public Liberal Arts College” designation and mission classification as a comprehensive institution.
Focus on outcomes (student learning) vs. inputs (courses).
Projected staffing of courses. National model vs. home grown model. Time, leadership, and governance.

“Such is the nature of strategic thinking in the academic sphere. As a form of leadership, it moves through conflicts and disagreements to find the shared values and concepts to which people are willing to make commitments.”

Sustaining a Mature General Education Program
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis RISE to the IUPUI Challenge Personal Development Plans (PDPs)
![Page 29: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
RISE to the IUPUI Challenge
IUPUI developed goals for excellence in: Teaching and learning Research, scholarship, and creative activity Civic engagement
Consistent with those goals, IUPUI is challenging each student to have at least two curricular learning experiences that augment the typical curriculum and that fall within the four areas of curricular excellence that are consistent with the mission of IUPUI
![Page 30: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
RISE to the IUPUI Challenge
Research International Study Abroad Service Learning Experiential Learning
The challenge: Every student earning a bachelor’s degree will complete at least two of the four types of educational experiences which qualify for appearing on the student’s transcript.
![Page 31: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Why RISE?
RISE emphasizes four critical dimensions of experiential learning that are the hallmarks of an IUPUI degree—integrating important high impact programs into the student experience in an intentional way, while advancing the Principles of Undergraduate Learning.
RISE will brand an IUPUI degree as unique and in touch with “Employer Identified Skills” for new graduates (AAC &U, 2007) and will be an integral part of “My IUPUI Experience.”
![Page 32: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Personal Development Plan (PDP)
Personal development planning is a process which will enable first year students at IUPUI to understand, implement, and mark progress toward a degree and career goal by creating and following a personalize plan that is open to revision and reevaluation every semester in collaboration with an academic advisor or faculty member.
![Page 34: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The PDP is designed to foster:
Goal commitment (student commitment to earning a degree)
Academic achievement (through goal setting and planning)
Curricular coherence and meaning in the first-year seminar
Student development for students in the first year and beyond.
![Page 35: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
PDP Components
Each PDP will have three components:
Semester in Review – reflection on individual strengths, goals, challenges and strategies for success
Principles of Undergraduate Learning – identification of how the PULs are explicitly connected to academic and career goals
Peak Performance Plan – A plan for specific action steps, courses, and experiential activities leading to the achievement of academic and career goals

Questions before the Process: Understanding the Institution and Building Expertise
How does the mission and vision of the institution “describe” the core educational values of the institution? How few learning goals can we use to address the institutional mission and vision?
![Page 38: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Questions before the Process: Understanding the Institution and Building Expertise
What national models are available and may any of these be used as a foundation for the new general education? What unique/distinctive characteristics (historic, mission or location driven) of the institution must be incorporated into a national model?
![Page 39: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Questions before the Process: Understanding the Institution and Building Expertise
What governance structures must be involved in the consultative/consensus building process? In the decision making process? Who will be key players in the process?
![Page 40: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Questions before the Process: Understanding the Institution and Building Expertise
What external or internal factors will delimit the process or the product (fiscal, human, and capital resources, student recruitment pool, and current faculty experience/expertise)? What resources/support is needed to initiate the process?
![Page 41: Beth E. Barnett Scott E. Evenbeck Sara B.Varhus AAC&U General Education and Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now March 3, 2011 Chicago, Illinois Pre-Conference.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5514c1ce55034693478b480e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Questions during the Process: Building a Sustainable General Education Program
