Strategy 2 Use Roadmap
Want to plan your own Training Calendar, resulting in a completed Roadmap? Here are some strategies:
• Determine a set of skills and knowledge areas, such as about 4-6 for each class year. Build around this. Consult the samples in the Sample Training Calendar(s) or Roadmap as a starting point.
• Create a survey (in Survey Monkey, for example) of Bonners and students, having them provide input on the skills and knowledge areas they need next.
• Have a generative meeting with a core group of student leaders (representing each class perhaps), faculty, and partners. Use a process (such as with post-its and by reviewing completed surveys) to chart our those skill or knowledge areas.
• You can draw on institutional learning outcomes or create learning outcomes (next strategy) as a guide.
