Designing Your Own Training Sequence
A campus may choose to implement this sequence or adjust it, especially to reflect collaboration. Or, a campus may engage in an individualized planning process, using The Roadmap Planning Tool (download on the wiki). Regardless, each Bonner Program should have an intentional student development strategy, which integrates a sequence of trainings, education, and reflection - ideally weekly. This rests on a minimum of two meetings per month (every other week is recommended) for students in each class.
You can also do a more creative process, using the Roadmap planning tool.
of purposeful activities that can work on their own, in many cases. Use your judgment as an educator and facilitator, weaving in other pieces of your own.

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.
- You can draw on institutional learning outcomes as a guide. Or use the AAC&U VALUE Rubrics (for Essential Learning Outcomes), especially the ones on Civic Engagement, Critical Thinking, Creating Thinking, and Integrative Learning. Download them here. Learn more at www.aacu.org/value.
- 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.
