Exercise #1
• At your tables, either work as a whole group, or divide into two
or three smaller groups, whichever you prefer.
• Choose one of your institutions for which you will develop a
“model.”
• For that institution:
O State or write 1-2 institutional/baccalaureate outcomes.
O “Map” those outcomes to the LEAP outcomes and the
strategic plan, if applicable. If there is no viable strategic
plan, what might be a strategic goal that could be derived
from the institution’s mission statement?
O “Map” 1-2 GE Program Outcomes to the institutional
outcomes. (If the institution doesn’t have GE Outcomes,
please write 1-2).

Testimonials to Student Learning
“Co-creating “Empowering the Yard” has
made a lasting impact in my life. With 1 in
100 Americans incarcerated and the
growing rate of HIV/AIDS among young
women, it is imperative that we listen and
learn from one another…
Emily Kirsch

Since the film's initial screening at SF State
in May 2008, Empowering the Yard has been
entered and accepted to film festivals across
the country and is going global.”

Exercise #2
• Select a GE course from the institution you’re using
in your example that will map easily to a LEAP,
institutional, and GE outcome you selected in
Exercise #1.
• Either use a dept/program outcome for that course,
or write an appropriate one that maps to your
LEAP, institutional, and GE outcome.
• Either use or write an appropriate course outcome.
• List activities (artifacts) students could complete to
demonstrate mastery of the course outcome.
• Draw your “map” on the Flip Chart.
