And socially I guess. This is my first year in the US so I know nothing about foreigners and domestic people here – so it’s kind of like a barrier breaker for me to get to know Americans. Because there’s no limitations in bouldering, because anyone can join. It’s like a good way to meet a diversity of people.” “I come here and whatever I’ve got going on – you know, school work, ‘work’ work, searching for jobs, all these stresses, social problems, whatever it may be, I come to the climbing wall and it’s just like “oh, all of my friends are hanging out, we’re having fun, smiling so like even just psychologically, it’s like a vacation.

- 52. Survey of SpanPlan Tutors Dorothy surveyed Span Plan tutors regarding their confidence in their tutoring skills at the beginning of, and the end of the semester. Of the 13 respondents: 5 reported no change in confidence over the semester 7 reported an increase in confidence 1 reported a decrease in confidence Span Plan
- 53. More Results Dorothyalso asked the tutors the following questions about their performance as tutors and their working relationship with tutees. Did you seek feedback about your performance from your students? While tutoring your students, did you solicited feedback about your working relationship? All those who sought feedback about their performance and the working relationship made adjustments in their tutoring based on the feedback. Span Plan
- 54. Even More Results Dorothy also asked, “What is one thing you learned about yourself as a result of working as a Span Plan tutor?” Here are some of their responses: I am able to teach and help others even though I am still a student Tutoring math involves more than just being able to do the math. It was such a joy when the students were engaged in learning. I learn about something better when I teach it back I learned that I really love working with students that are eager to learn. Span Plan
- 55. Closing the Loop Dorothy used the data she collected from her survey to improve the orientation during the tutor hiring process by taking the following actions: Emphasizing the value of communication and feedback collection between tutor and student. Emphasize relationship building dialogue with the students. Emphasize the personal and professional value of tutoring; the value of working as a tutor is not limited to the biweekly deposits in the tutor’s bank account. Encourage supervision with Span Plan staff. Span Plan
- 56. I have beenthe director Span Plan Adult Student Services for six or seven years. Those of who know me also know that one of my personal and professional philosophies is to strive for continuous improvement. Being mindful of this philosophy keeps me attentive to evaluating Span Plan’s programs and services. This involves routinely sending evaluation surveys at the end of every program and making improvements based on the feedback I collect. For the most part, every program and service assessed hit above or near the goal set for learning outcomes. Being involved in the learning outcomes assessment process has been a challenge. With Margaret Wu’s patient assistance, I have made some headway with wording survey questions in ways that evaluate learning outcomes. A side effect of the limited time I have had to spend on learning outcomes, I have come to think about some programs and services differently, including, learning outcomes for the Span Plan tutors I hire every semester. In reviewing the tutor survey results I found several interesting outcomes: In assessing and comparing the tutors’ confidence in their tutoring skills at the beginning of and the end of the semester, of the 13 respondents: 5 reported no change in confidence over the semester 7 reported an increase in confidence 1 reported a decrease in confidence (I wish I knew which tutor this is so we could have a conversation about it) In assessing the feedback loop between tutor and student, I asked separate questions about their performance as a tutor and their working relationship: First question to the tutor: Did you seek feedback about your performance from your students? If yes, did you improve performance based on the feedback? Of the 10 who solicited feedback, all reported they improved their tutoring performance based on the students’ feedback. Second question for the tutor: While tutoring your students, did you solicited feedback about your working relationship? Of the nine who did solicit feedback about their working relationship, all made adjustments to their working relationships based on the feedback received. The most rewarding question I asked was: What is one thing you learned about yourself as a result of working as a Span Plan tutor? Some of my favorite responses are: I learned to find ways to solve problems I am a very patient person I know how to help others understand I am able to teach and help others even though I am still a student I know enough about the subject matter to help others learn it I would consider teaching professionally Tutoring math involves more than just being able to do the math. You have to understand how the other person thinks I learned that I really love working with students that are eager to learn. It was such a joy when the students were engaged in learning. I learn about something better when I teach it back How can I apply the above feedback to the tutoring program? What is the message I took from this feedback that I can implement in my continuous improvement plan as Span Plan hires future tutors? I plan to improve the orientation during the hiring process by: Emphasizing the value of communication/feedback collection between tutor and student. Emphasize relationship building dialogue with the students. Emphasize the personal and professional value of tutoring Encourage supervision with Span Plan staff. Emphasize that the value of working as a tutor is not limited to the biweekly deposits in the tutor’s bank account. Dorothy Hughes, Span Plan – Full Text

STRATEGIC OVERVIEWProcess Partners: Ja’Niah Downing Senior AssistantDirector Office of Admissions Lygia Vernon Coordinator of Civic Engagement Student Activities and Organizations Civic Engagement & Leadership Development • Pre-test and Post-test given to students during their training and a University Student Leader Survey sent to them using an online survey tool to complete after their high school visit. • The surveys focused on the leaders and high school students’ perceptions regarding the value of the program, their satisfaction with the program, and their perceived effectiveness of the program.
- 74. STRATEGIC OVERVIEW • 100 percentof the members indicated that they grew in their presentation skills as a result of participating in the Fall Break High School Visits. Majority of them indicated that they grew significantly, while a few of them indicated that they grew slightly. • Majority of the university leaders indicated that they knew five Purdue resources at the end of the training. Majority of the leaders felt that they were able to communicate the resources at Purdue and their value to the high school students • Majority of university leaders expressed that they were prepared for their high school visit after training, and they noted after their high school visit that they had enough knowledge that they received about Purdue during training to use for their high school visit during their visit. Results
- 75. STRATEGIC OVERVIEW • Choosing acollege is hard enough but being a minority makes it even harder. I enjoy being able to show incoming students that they don't have to be afraid to come to Purdue. That even being a minority we can still come together, sort of like a family away from home, and make a difference. • I believe that it is important to be that extra resource or possibly the only resource, that helps guide incoming students to get a slight glimpse of what college life is all about and how to make it to the finish line, though it may be complex at times, there are always those people and resources who are there to help whenever you need it! Its a support system. • Boiler Tracks has allowed me to share all of my experiences as a college student as well as all of the opportunities I've had since making Purdue my home. Every time I talk with an admitted or prospective student about Purdue, all I feel is pride. I am proud knowing that something I say may be the deciding factor on them becoming a Boilermaker.

Editor's Notes
- #32 Explain what the purpose of AFROTC is it is an officer training program with the purpose to commission and server on active duty for 4 years after college. It is the main path to becoming an officer in the air force and one of only 3 ways to become an officer. If they would like to become an officer, then they must go through the academy, ROTC or very rarely OTS.
- #33 The lecture class is a standard sit down college course taught by the cadre at the detachment – 1 Hour once a weekPT is 3 times a week for 1 hourLeadership Lab is the hands on drill and ceremonies, marching, flag protocol, team building exercises, briefings, how to wear the uniform—basically anything that needs hands on active involvementLeadership Lab is 2 hours once a week - Thursday morning 0730-0920The total time commitment for Freshmen and Sophomores is 6 hoursThe total time commitment for Juniors and Seniors is 8 hours (the Lecture class is 1.5 hours twice a week, everything else is the same)Cadets will wear their uniform to the Lecture class but can change afterwards. Cadets will also wear their uniform all day on Thursdays.There is no commitment to the program in the first 2 years for non-scholarship cadets, cadets must make the decision by the first day of their Junior year to continue in the program and owe the Air Force 4-years after college, or to quit the program.
- #34 Freshman lecture classes is Air Force 101 –it is designed to get everyone on the same page, regardless if theyare from a military family or have no idea how the military worksSophomore lecture is a history class – it is important for future air force officers to understand where we came from and the lessons of the past to be effective. It is a very general overview.Leadership lab is the hands on portion of the training, teaching cadets everything from how to wear the uniform and work under pressure to letting them practice leading….which will be their main job on active duty
- #35 Field training is ‘boot camp’ with a leadership twist. Unlike if enlisting in the air force, where they will teach new recruits how to wear the uniform, march and PT, cadets are already expected to know these things for field training. This is an environment where cadets can take what they learned in the first 2 years of ROTC and test it in stressful situations. Cadets will be given leadership positions throughout the encampment where they can grow in leadership skills.Cadets competed for an ‘enrollment allocation’ early their second semester of their sophomore year. The number of allocations given out depend on the number of cadets competing across the nation and the number of active duty officer positions available when they will graduate. For the 2010 encampment it was a 75% selection rate. Things taken into consideration for the competition:Cumulative GPA, the second semester of sophomore year will not be taken into account as the allocations will already be given outPT scorePerformance in the ROTC program (commander’s ranking)SAT/ACT or AFOQT scores – whichever is highest
- #36 Lecture class has been bumped up to 1.5 hours twice a weekLeadership Lab – now the cadet will have a leadership position in the cadet wing. The first 2 years they were in learning mode, in the last two they actually get to organize, plan and run leadership lab and PT. This gives the cadets hands on leadership and project management experience with the oversight and guidance of the cadre members, so they are not hitting their first assignment with no practical leadership experience.
- #38 After college cadets will receive a commission into the active duty air force as a 2 LT.A 2nd LT outranks 80% of the current active duty air force the first day on the job. They could easily be in charge of 10+ people, some who have been in the air force 20+ years. An officer is a leader first, their specialty (pilot, cyber operations, security forces) second.ROTC is designed to be that leadership training to prepare cadets for their active duty responisbilities.
- #41 Good Morning ladies and gentlemen, I am CPT Ralph Merrill, Assistant professor of military science from the Army ROTC program here at Purdue. Today I would like to run through a handful of slides, outlining our program, and opportunities unique to our program that we have mapped into our Student learning outcomes. In addition I will discuss challenges that we will work through within the program.
- #42 Here is a brief overview of things that we will be talking about today. These topics include our learning outcome domains of which we have our 5 primary however, additional areas for consideration for other domains that we can think about as well. Following this, I will talk about the current mapping of our program, and how we have the unique opportunity of nesting within our core curriculum, thus providing the student an in-class opportunity to achieve some of, if not all outcomes. I will then touch base on a few opportunities that are unique to the program, that although not currently mapped within our learning outcome domains, provide an opportunity for superior performers, to diversify their skills; assisting in future opportunities within the military, as well as a unique experience that when compared to their peers on the civilian side of the house. These are just a few examples of what we can offer with regards to the Student Learning Outcome domains and by no means are totally inclusive in this clip, but are examples of opportunity presented within this organization to provide a unique college experience. Finally, as we can all relate to in some way I am sure, I will talk about some of the challenges that we will have, specifically within our program, and planned means for overcoming those challenges.
- #43 These are the primary outcome domains that we are working under. Of note, I list career at the top, because to start a successful career within the Army as a Second Lieutenant, the additional 4 attributes of Interpersonal Skills, Knowledge, Leadership and of utmost importance Responsibility are some of the critical building blocks that we expect our cadets to leave this program with. We consider ourselves in the business of building Platoon leaders; not necessarily Officers. The term “Officer” can be encompassing of many rates, as well as branches of service but the foundation of a successful officer in the Army and thus, a successful career start with core attributes that need to be embedded from the start. Within our program, we provide opportunities for a Career; and for a lot of our students, this is what they strive for. However for all students attending classes within the ROTC program, we try to embed certain characteristics-life skills, that will assist in driving them to success…either in the military, or the civilian world. Of note, on the right hand side I list attributes that are “considerable” with the paradigm that, we do have programs that could very easily fall within these domains; some of which I will discuss later.
- #44 This is how our domains map out. Fortunately within the Army ROTC department we have the ability to map our curriculum within each of the learning domains. Values and Ethics, Personal Development, Leadership, Tactics & Techniques, & Officership that are taught at all levels of MS class, but to a different extent. The intent is that in developing future officers for the United States Army, we develop a well rounded leader who, is able to be flexible within each of the different categories however, meld together a common mix of different learning experiences to be able to remain flexible & adaptable. Of note, you can see that under the domain of Leadership, we have applied block checks to all categories; thus the intent of developing a well rounded leader who is able to think critically, pull on experiences from the past as well as experience from those around him in his or her development. This is something that is not taught at a specific level within their education; rather it pulls from the experiences and knowledge that they have gained collectively from the program as a whole, and therefore blend with other parts of curriculum.
- #45 Within the program we also provide additional opportunities for development. These include clubs, community service events, and cadet practical field training events. These additional opportunities, when paired with core curriculum provide students opportunities to advance in both personal and professional development. They foster environments that can be invaluable to their personal and professional experiences within the program. Under clubs a few areas that I would like to highlight would be ranger club, for tactical and technical development, but also development in leadership abilities, and mentorship. Pathfinder, which reciprocates Cross fit, provides physical improvement as well as mental development and resiliency.Opportunities to participate in community service projects shows cadets participating in the program, the big picture and the importance of giving back not just to those that have served prior, but to the community. This was evident during the Military Family Research Institute’s stand down during veterans day weekend, in which cadets had the opportunity to go out into the community and assist with those in need. Additional training opportunities, such as the Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency program, provides cadets the opportunity to deploy to areas around the world and immerse into local cultures, as well as the ranks of the US Army. This program provides opportunities to experience something outside of the day to day campus life, and provides an opportunity to do something that not very many people will have the chance to experience. We currently have 8 attendees for this year. They will be located in the Ukraine, Burundi, Dominican Republic, Moldova, Senegel, Estonia, Tanzania and Mongolia. These opportunities as discussed earlier, can nest considerably within the other outcome domains: Community, Global Diversity, and Wellness.
- #46 Having given just a few examples of additional opportunities, also provided us with our first challenge, being that the opportunities that we have to evaluate can and do become very time intensive, in that there really are a lot of in class and out of class areas for assessment. Our means of combating this however, is through selection. Although there is a lot of opportunity for out of class experience, only select individuals who demonstrate performance above and beyond the normal day to day requirements of the program, are afforded the opportunity to participate in certain clubs, or training opportunities that go beyond the scope of what is done in class. Therefore the metric for measurement gets reduced, and provides us with a “workable” product for demonstrated performance outside of the “in class” experience. The second challenge that we run into is that, within some of these programs they are either not evaluated, or evaluated in a manner where a cadet will receive an Evaluation Report, in which demonstrated actions may not be quantifiable. Programs such as CULP, provide an Officer Evaluation Report, as to a cadet’s actions while in attendance but may not necessarily cover the entire breadth of the experience that they have. Further, as with different cultures 2 cadets experiences within the same program may not be the same, due to different areas of location. To assist us with this process, we have decided to adopt ideas discussed previously during other work sessions with members in this group, such as Professional Development Reflection Journals, or Service Learning Reflection Journals, to provide us with additional data to use in our observations. Finally, certain schools that we provide opportunities for are trained to a “GO/NO-GO” standard. For example Army Airborne School is broken down into 3 phases (ground phase/tower phase & jump week) in which although there are 3 separate phases, each one of these is graded to a pass/fail standard. Therefore the determining metric for success is the selection process in itself; initially determined at our level as to who will have the opportunity to compete for, and finally the selection by our higher echelon to determine who if any, is selected above their peers for school attendance.
- #59 Purdue University’s Horizons study abroad experiences are offered to the program to expand global educational opportunities for traditionally underrepresented groups. Prior to the generous grant provided to Horizons by the Office of the Provost, we supported and encouraged students to study abroad, however participation was negatively affected due to cost, a general lack of information, and low confidence in their abilities to travel abroad. It was obvious that there existed a need for outreach to this particular group of students and in recognizing this need, Horizons was granted another year of subsidized funding. The Horizons Costa Rica experience provided a framework for Purdue in increasing the number of first-generation, low income college students who are more knowledgeable about and are participating in study abroad experiences. The renewal of our grant funding to offer study abroad opportunities is dependent on whether or not we succeed in making an evaluative impact on the participants to prove the need of a program such as this.
- #61 Students rated their confidence levels on the following scale: Not Confident, Somewhat, Moderately, Very, and Extremely. In comparing pre and post comparative results, we saw increases in student confidence levels in each evaluated item. Student feedback in the areas of extremely confident doubled post evaluation in the confidence areas of: Knowledge of their discipline in a global context, ability to get a job in a global context, ability to lead others, achieving their life’s aspirations, and taking action to decrease other people’s suffering. Student feedback in the areas of extremely confident more than tripled post evaluation in the confidence areas of: goal setting, navigation through unfamiliar environments, ability to solve problems, and the ability to solve conflict. Student confidence increased to very confident in cross cultural communication and navigation through unfamiliar environment two-fold.
