Comprehensive Description of Program Components The following sections provide additional details on the program components and support services outlined above. Pre-Departure Support Services Details MARKETING YOUR PROGRAM ISA is dedicated to making your program a success. A crucial step to being able to implement your custom program is recruiting participants, and ISA would like to help you to market your program on campus and at nearby colleges and universities. All ISA marketing support services are both complimentary and optional. The ISA graphic design team can custom design a promotional flyer for the University of Kentucky in Florianópolis program. ISA will provide 25 full color copies of the 8.5 x11 flyer along with the PDF file for your use should additional copies be required. Alternatively, if University of Kentucky designs flyers or other graphic imagery inhouse, University of Kentucky may elect to share the final PDF file with ISA for distribution. ISA REPRESENTATIVES ON CAMPUS ISA has two full time staff on campus at the University of Kentucky dedicated to maximizing the success of this program. Patrick Barker, ISAʹs Kentucky Office Coordinator and Lindsey Capps, Custom Program and Outreach Coordinator can assist faculty in a number of areas, including: Study abroad fairs; Information tables; Meetings with participants, advisors, and faculty; Classroom and participant organization presentations. The ISA UK office is located at 313 Bradley Hall and is open M F 8am 5pm. It can be reached by phone at PARTICIPANT REGISTRATION/ADMISSIONS PROCESS The Custom Programs division of ISA has implemented a system of virtual forms and documents which are accessible to participants in their personal ISA Student Portal online. Because ISA uses information within the Student Portal to coordinate the logistics of the program with the ISA Resident Directors overseas, all of the documents listed below are required. ISA will work with University of Kentucky, however, to share information and streamline the process as much as possible. Participants will first be required to submit an online registration form with general information such as address and phone number. Once this process is complete, the participant will receive an granting access to their ISA Student Portal. A common misconception among participants is that once the online registration form has been submitted, the ISA admissions process is complete. It is important to stress to participants that if they have not logged 6

7 into the ISA Student Portal to submit all of the required forms listed below, their program participation may be in jeopardy. The following forms are required for all participants in an ISA Custom Program: Program Contract ISA Code of Conduct Medical History Form Health Clearance Form (to be signed by a doctor, physician s assistant or nurse practitioner) Passport Copy (scanned and uploaded) Travel Responsibility and Release Form Visa Information and Responsibility form How to Book Your Flight Form Flight Itinerary (scanned and uploaded) U.S. Embassy S.T.E.P. Registration Instructions form Digital Photo (uploaded as a JPEG) Housing Contract Housing Questionnaire All forms will be due by the Final Forms and Payment deadline as specified above. If participants do not complete all forms and applicable payments to ISA by this deadline, ISA will begin communications with University of Kentucky and the participant about any applicable penalties, including withdrawal from the program. PRE-DEPARTURE ORIENTATION After the deadline has passed and the participants forms and payments have been submitted, participants will have access to their interactive, Online Orientation within the ISA Student Portal. This online orientation provides information on their specific program site, such as culture, housing and transportation within their host city, health and safety, food, ISA offices and staff, etc. If you would like assistance with your on campus pre departure orientations, please contact your Custom Program Manager, as he or she can share helpful pre departure resources or help present the information to your participants in person or via Skype. FINAL PACKET Approximately two weeks prior to program departure, participants will have access to a final packet in their ISA Student Portal, which contains emergency contact names and phone numbers, participants flight information, airport arrival instructions and contingency plan in case there is a change to the participant s planned arrival, and a basic program itinerary. The final packet provides a seamless transition between pre departure and arrival, when our resident staff becomes their primary ISA contact. Health & Safety Support Services Details ON-SITE PROGRAM ORIENTATION Upon arrival in Florianópolis the ISA on site staff will conduct a program orientation, to address: Cultural adjustment Health and safety and medical insurance procedures Housing Academics Program itinerary and upcoming cultural activities Acquiring cell phones in Florianópolis These orientation meetings allow participants a chance to become familiar with the ISA Resident staff immediately upon arrival. During the orientation meeting, each participant and faculty leader is also provided with an emergency 7

8 contact card upon arrival, which includes the ISA Resident Director s office phone number, cell phone number, and address. ISA INTERNATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE ISA requires that every participant and faculty leader be covered by an international medical insurance policy. Since ISA international health insurance is not included in the program, University of Kentucky must provide the description of coverage for the insurance policy that will be used. LIABILITY ISA has liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000. University of Kentucky will be named as an additional insured entity through the duration of this program. 24/7 EMERGENCY SUPPORT The support of ISA Austin is available to University of Kentucky advisers, participants, faculty, and parents throughout all phases of the program. The ISA Austin office can be reached at (512) during regular business hours: Monday Thursday, 7:00 AM 7:00 PM CST; Friday, 7:00AM 5:00 PM. During weekend and evening hours, the ISA Austin telephone answering machine will provide the caller with the ISA Austin emergency phone number, which is available 24 hours per day, seven days per week for additional support in case of emergency. The ISA Austin staff is trained to answer emergency calls and respond according to ISA emergency protocol. ISA Austin should be included in any pertinent emergency communications and will remain the point of contact for the U.S. based University of Kentucky program coordinator. Once on site, ISA s full time Resident Directors will assist participants and faculty with all aspects of their experience abroad. ISA Resident Directors are locals and are highly knowledgeable about the available facilities, customs, support services and local people. The ISA Resident Directors arrange program orientation, academic supports, excursions, weekly meeting, cultural activities, and other services. ISA staff members are trained to ensure the wellbeing of each program participant and make every effort to make themselves accessible to participants at all times. In the event that a program participant must go to the hospital or to a doctor, the ISA on site staff will assist in scheduling the appointment, accompanying the participant on the visit, and aid the participant in any other way necessary. Additionally, the ISA Florianópolis staff will ensure that the participant is aware of all procedures required to file an insurance claim for medical services. While in Florianópolis, the University of Kentucky participants and faculty leader will have access to the ISA Florianópolis office and the support of its two staff members. The ISA office is conveniently located inside the UNISULʹs Ilha Centro campus where the students will take most of their classes. The office, in the center of downtown, provides a study room, computer/internet workstations, and a lounge area available for ISA students. Students are encouraged to visit the ISA facility (general office hours are 9:00am 6:00pm Monday through Friday) to check e mail, receive tutoring, obtain travel advice, or to practice speaking Portuguese with the ISA staff. The Resident Director in Florianópolis is Rodrigo Ferrari Franzoni. As a native of Florianópolis, Rodrigo is fascinated with international education. In 2008, he attended George Mason University in Alexandria, Virginia to study English, Italian and Global Affairs. In 2009, he spent two semesters in Wilmington, NC at UNCW to study French, Spanish and Business. He is currently pursuing a degree in International Relations. Rodrigo speaks English and Portuguese fluently and can also communicate in Italian, Spanish and French. Music, technology, animated film and television are among some of his passions. He enjoys getting to know people and he also especially likes helping ISA students with their Portuguese. 8

9 Academic Support Details The University of Kentucky program in Florianópolis will have an academic focus of Education and will provide participants with academic credit upon successful completion of the program. UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY COURSE IN FLORIANÓPOLIS While in Florianópolis, University of Kentucky participants will enroll in EDC 533: Teaching Adolescent Literacy across the Disciplines to be taught by the accompanying University of Kentucky faculty leader. In order to best understand and support the curriculum for this program, please provide a copy of the course syllabus to ISA upon approval of this proposal of support services. CLASS MEETING SPACE ISA will arrange classroom space for a total of 30 hours over the duration of the program for the University of Kentucky taught course. Upon revision of this proposal, faculty leader will have the opportunity to request specific classroom and/or instructional technology. Typical classrooms in Florianópolis are outfitted with tables, chairs, a projector and screen, Wi fi, and a whiteboard. ACADEMIC VISITS AND GUEST LECTURES The academic coursework in the University of Kentucky program in Florianópolis will be experiential in nature, comprised of 16 visits to a private bilingual school. In addition, there will be four academic visits with discussions led by local schools and organizations as a complement to the University of Kentucky academic coursework, including honorariums and interpreters (if necessary) for the following activities: Academic visit to Public School Academic visit to Private School Academic visit to Education Department (of city or state government) Academic visit to Premio RBS de Educação * ISA will make every effort to secure these lecture and academic visits, but cannot be guaranteed at this time. The University of Kentucky faculty leader should provide guidance, potential contacts, and detailed academic objectives for each lecture, discussion, or visit in advance to assist ISA in preparing local experts for the types of questions they may be asked by the participants. The academic visits and guest lectures will be confirmed 4 6 weeks prior to departure, within the timeframe in which local professors, professionals, businesses, and organizations are able to commit to the requested activities. CUSTOM COURSE ISA will contract instructor from UNISUL or a comparable institution to instruct a Portuguese crash course, consisting of a total 20 contact hours. SERVICE-LEARNING COMPONENT In addition to their academic courses, participants will work as a group for two half days with ongoing servicelearning projects in the Florianópolis area in order to create a positive and lasting impact in the community. ISA will work with the University of Kentucky faculty leader to set up the service learning assignments with local organizations. Prior to program departure, specific program placements will be determined based on participant language proficiency and community need. Service-Learning Minimum Language Requirements Participant language proficiency requirements are stipulated by local organizations in order to ensure the quality of the service provided to the organization by the participant and/or group. As such, it is beyond the control of ISA to mandate the level of interaction in which participants will be able to participate if participants do not meet these minimum requirements. 9

10 Many ISA Service Learning group opportunities in Florianópolis include activities interacting with locals, which will require participants to have a minimum of beginner level of Portuguese. Should University of Kentucky elect not to establish a participant requirement of beginner level Portuguese language proficiency, ISA service learning will arrange a service project (building, painting, planting, etc.) for the group to complete based on the availability and immediate needs of the organization. TRANSCRIPTION OF COURSES University of Kentucky will be responsible for course registration, tuition billing, grade reports, and transcripts for all courses offered in conjunction with this program. THE NEW YORK TIMES SUBSCRIPTION University of Kentucky participants and faculty leader in this program will receive a digital subscription to The New York Times online, allowing them to access thousands of ground breaking articles, interactive media, videos and archived journalism dating back to 1851, the year the paper was founded. Participants will be encouraged by U.S. and resident staff to engage with selected Times media in order to facilitate learning in different areas of their program in Florianópolis. In this way, access to the Times will complement the program of University of Kentucky, encouraging participants to connect with the global community. Participant Housing and Meals Details HOST FAMILIES Participants will be able to experience the unique culture of Florianópolis by living with host families while on the program. In addition to having an opportunity to be immersed in the Portuguese language, participants will observe and experience aspects of the Brazilian lifestyle that are inaccessible to most visitors. The homes are located throughout the city within walking distance or via local bus, minutes from where classes will be held. Most of our families are made up of individuals who do not speak English. Some of the households do have English speaking members, and all are experienced in hosting participants with all levels of Portuguese. For language and culture programs, ISA instructs families to speak only Portuguese to participants to maximize cultural and linguistic immersion. Participants are usually housed (two) to a room. The families will provide two meals per day and laundry service weekly over the duration of the program. ISA Host Family Quality Assurance ISA is well established at our program sites and we have long standing relationships with our host families. Host family housing is typically one of the best rated components on ISA post program surveys, with participants frequently commenting that their host family had a positive impact on their experience abroad. ISA ensures highquality homestay experiences by the following: When contracting host families at each site, ISA conducts an extensive application and interview process including a home visit. New host family applicants are often the result of referrals by current host families, indicating a high level of satisfaction with hosting ISA participants. ISA maintains a detailed database of all host families, including family members living in the home, their ages and occupations. Each ISA participant that stays with an ISA host family completes a detailed evaluation at the end of their stay so we can assure that conditions within the homestay continue to meet our high standards. ISA makes every effort to meet housing requests of universities and individual participants. Individual homestay matches are based on questionnaires participants complete prior to departure, which outline any applicable health or nutritional requirements, as well as personal preferences and roommate requests. All housing assignments are confirmed approximately two to four weeks prior to departure. HOTELS Participants will be housed in shared rooms at a hotel for the first night of the program in Florianópolis (typically two participants per room). If there is an odd number of participants of the same gender, participants may be roomed in 10

11 triple occupancy rooms. Breakfast will be provided at the hotel. Participants will be responsible for lunch and dinner meals with the exception of group meals as noted on the program itinerary. GROUP MEALS ISA will arrange two group meals in Florianópolis for the University of Kentucky participants and faculty. A welcome meal helps establish a sense of community among the group and serves as an introduction to the Brazilian gastronomy and culture. Likewise, a farewell dinner acknowledges the importance of the experience and provides a sense of closure to the program. Group meals may be prix fixe or buffet style. Consult your ISA Custom Program Manager for details. CELL PHONES While ISA does not provide international cellular phones, we can provide guidance and assistance to participants wishing to obtain one for use while in Brazil. Participants will receive detailed information on the variety of cell phones available during their on site orientation upon arrival in Florianópolis. Faculty Support Details All costs for one University of Kentucky faculty leader, including housing, excursions, cultural activities, and group meals as outlined in the program itinerary, are included in the per participant program price. HOUSING IN FLORIANÓPOLIS The University of Kentucky faculty leader will stay in a one bedroom, furnished an apartment for the duration of the program. All utilities, including Wi fi, are included along with rent in the per participant program price. The faculty leader will be housed in a single room and will be responsible for his or her own meals. ISA will present up to three options for apartments, if none of these are acceptable, ISA will provide a stipend in the amount budgeted so that the faculty leader can arrange their own apartment. In addition, the University of Kentucky faculty leader will stay in an individual room at a hotel in Florianópolis during the first night of the program. Breakfast will be provided at the hotel, and the faculty leader will be responsible for lunch and dinner meals with the exception of group meals as noted in the program itinerary. CELL PHONE ISA will provide the University of Kentucky faculty leader with a mobile phone upon arrival in Florianópolis, to aid in communication with ISA on site staff, as well as University of Kentucky Education Abroad Office staff, should an emergency arise. The cost of the phone service and rental is included. If the faculty leader utilizes all of the minutes, texts and/or data provided, the faculty leader will be responsible for paying out of pocket for more minutes, texts or data. It is the responsibility of University of Kentucky to ensure each faculty leader is aware of this policy. Please consult your ISA Custom Program Manager for details. FACULTY FORMS All participating faculty are required to complete and submit ISA policy forms regarding medical history, housing, flight itinerary, accompaniment, and academic responsibilities. The faculty leader will also receive an ISA Faculty Handbook which outlines general ISA protocol as well as recommendations for recruitment and on site group management. Advance copies of this handbook are available upon request. FAMILY OR OTHER ACCOMPANYING PARTIES ISA will comply with University of Kentucky policies regarding accompanying person(s) for faculty led programs. Should the university permit the accompaniment of faculty leader, ISA requires all accompanying persons to be approved and confirmed by University of Kentucky. University of Kentucky is responsible for providing ISA with details of the accompanying persons(s) by March 14, The faculty leader is required to submit the CP Faculty Accompaniment Information, including which activities the accompanying person(s) will participate in, 11

12 within one week of notifying ISA their participation. All accompanying person(s) must submit a waiver of liability to ISA. ISA will then invoice the faculty leader directly for costs associated with the accompanying person(s) prior to departure. Payment is due 15 days prior to departure of the program. If payment is not received prior to the program departure, the accompanying person(s) may not be able to participate in the program activities as planned. The faculty leader will not receive any refund for any changes made to the accompanying person(s)ʹ attendance of program activities while on site. Additional details about these policies are available upon request. Cultural Activities and Excursions Details As a complement to the program academics in Florianópolis, the University of Kentucky participants and faculty leader will broaden their understanding of Brazil through their participation in cultural activities and excursions as listed below.

FLORIANÓPOLIS Florianópolis, a city situated on an island in southeastern Brazil, is modern and cosmopolitan yet also blessed with tremendous natural beauty. Floripa, as it is called by locals, showcases over 42 beaches, rolling mountains, Atlantic rainforest, soft white sand dunes, and an array of offshore islands. As a complement to its natural beauty, this popular city has been named one of the best places to live and do business in a country that is rapidly becoming an economic superpower.

14 potential employer or post grad university the concrete benefits they will provide as a direct result of their experience abroad. This includes a career resources guide, video tutorials, networking and social media tips, and helpful links. PROGRAM EVALUATIONS ISA will conduct a post program evaluation of both faculty and participants.

17 STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The foundation of every education abroad program is an emphasis on student learning. As opposed to course objectives which outline the subject matter that the faculty member intends to teach, a student learning outcome describes the abilities or knowledge the student should possess upon successful completion of the education abroad program, of which courses are one aspect of the total learning. All UK Sponsored programs must have clearly articulated learning outcomes, along with strategies for achieving and measuring those outcomes. Please (a) provide at least three specific learning outcomes for the overall program, (b) describe your pedagogical approach(es) for each intended outcome, (c) describe how each learning outcome will be assessed, and (d) list any resources that may be needed for each learning outcome to succeed: Intended Learning Outcome: What will students learn? Example: Students will learn to recognize the geological formations which exist across the varied topography of New Zealand. Pedagogical Approaches: How will students learn? Example: Method of Assessment: How will you know if the students learned? Example: Lectures will be given on-site of Students will compose blog the mountains visited to posts about pre-assigned physically expose students to formations and give an oral the sight, smell, and even taste presentation of their of geological formations. knowledge on-site for a grade. 1a. 1b. 1c. 1d.
