Professional Growth/Creative Activity. This category includes any combination of experiences that deepen the professional expertise of the applicant. For a psychologist this may mean work in a clinic or hospital. For an automotive instructor this may mean new training in a plant or hands-on experience in a factory. For a theater instructor this may mean work in a studio or on a stage. Like independent research, professional growth proposals need to be as specific as possible, in terms of the kind of professional experience to be gained, the loci of the experience, and the criteria for measuring it, so that the committee can be sure that what is proposed is a growth experience that will enhance the professionalism of the applicant and can be measured as roughly equivalent to the effort involved in a corresponding amount of coursework. Like academic study, professional growth projects involving specific colleges, businesses, industry, or the like, should clearly identify what is planned, where activity will occur, for how long, and with what identifiable results.
