Developing Your MAP

Directions for Developing Your Ministry Advancement Portfolio

What is your Ministry Assessment Portfolio (MAP)?

The MAP is a collection of materials and narratives prepared to describe your ministry or lifelong learning experience and document prior learning. The MAP stresses learning outcomes rather than attendance or participation in events.

The preparation of a Ministry Assessment Portfolio (MAP) will be an educational experience in self-evaluation. It requires you to relate past learning experiences, to educational goals, to exhibit critical self-analysis, and to demonstrate your ability to organize documentation in a clear concise manner.

The University acknowledges credit for prior learning, not just for prior experience. As you begin to assemble and complete the MAP, a constant check should be made to describe learning in addition to experience.

Although the personal MAP will represent learning that is unique to your experience, there is a prescribed format to be followed. It is important that you keep to this format while developing a carefully organized and well-written document. Assessors will evaluate your MAP and must be able to follow it logically and identify substantiating evidence easily. This will insure proper college credit for the process.

The MAP consists of these basic components:

Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

We are looking forward to completing this process with you.
