Jerry Pattengale
Jerry A. Pattengale (born 1958) is the founder of Purpose-Guided Education, and his mantra is “The dream needs to be stronger than the struggle.”[1] He coined “purpose-guided education” in 1997 while leading the implementation of student success programs at Indiana Wesleyan University.[2][3] In 2004, IWU received national recognition for these efforts through its selection as a Founding Institution in the Foundations of Excellence program of the National Policy Center (NC).[4] The university was benefited from involvement in The Lilly Endowment’s program for focused research on “vocation.”[5] Purpose-guided education prioritizes intrinsic motivation and helps students to become more engaged in learning experiences through connecting their beliefs and life goals to curricular requirements. The application of his views is found in Why I Teach and The Purpose-Guided Student (McGraw-Hill, 2008 & 2009 releases). He contributes regularly to educational issues related to student motivation and success, speaking nationally in various conference and media venues. He was raised in a family of ten near Lafayette, Indiana in the little town of Buck Creek, which prompted his popular Buck Creek newsprint series. At the age of 16 he found himself both a high school graduate and homeless. In 2006, PBS/WIPB (Ball State affiliate) included his journey in its special film, Leading the Way out of Poverty.[6] In 2007 and 2008 he participated in Roundtable meetings at the White House on compassion efforts through OFBCI. From 2010 to the end of 2014, he served as the Executive Director of the Green Scholars Initiative. It is now an international research program involving dozens of universities and a large group of scholars mentoring undergraduate and graduate students while researching historic items in the Green Collection. Pattengale Currently serves as the Director of Education for the Museum of the Bible.
Recognition for his work
The National Research Center (USC) and Houghton Mifflin Publishers presented him the National Student Advocate Award (2000), NACADA with a Merit Award for his development of the Virtual Advising Link system (1999) and Students at Azusa Pacific University twice voted him “Professor of the Year” and once as “Honors Professor of the Year.” He has served on the boards the Collegiate Employment Research Institute (Michigan State University), Veriana Networks, Inc. (a new media group), The National Resource Center for First-Year Experience and Students in Transition (USC), Bridgecasters: The National Center for Understanding Diversity and Civic Responsibility (IN), The Center for Women in Ministry (IN), The Review Board for The Journal of the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition (Indiana), The 21sts Scholars College Network Steering Committee (IN) and the Governor’s Council for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (Indiana). His mentoring of Olympian Kris Akabusi, a Nigerian sprinter from England, was highlighted in The Guardian.[7]
In 2014, Indiana Wesleyan University named Pattengale its first University Professor since its 1920 founding.[8] Pattengale received the 2012 World Changing Faculty Award from Indiana Wesleyan University.[9]
Scholarship
His publications and presentations reflect his wide range of interests, from his ancient history background to his studies of purpose, along with human interest stories. He speaks nationally on student success issues, including broadcasts such as The Teaching Professor (Magna Publications) and PaperClips and has given addresses to dozens of colleges and campuses, ranging from Colgate, Taylor and Wheaton to the universities of Michigan, Houston, South Florida, Arkansas, and many community colleges such as Ivy Tech. He was one of the pioneers in calling for a humanities approach to student success,[10] and the need for faculty involvement in the development of strategies.[11] Pattengale writes a popular newsprint series for Paxton Media, The Accidental Author, with some of these articles surfacing in books. In addition to his books and chapters on student success and history, he has a wide range of publications, e.g., “The Naked Truth” (The Chicago Tribune), “Student Success or Student Non-Dissatisfaction” (Growth Journal), “Writing History in Public,” (Books & Culture) the “Addressing the Tension between Leading and Managing” (Academic Leader) and “The Faculty Retention IQ Test” (Faculty Focus).
Career & Education
While completing a graduate degree at Wheaton College (Illinois) in Interpersonal Development, he developed a youth program to city teens in Chicago, IL. He later did the same in Indiana Wesleyan University while completing a second B.S. (History), founding the J.C. Body Shop—a Christian youth center. He then moved to Miami University for a second M.A. (Tudor-Stuart History) and a Ph.D. (Ancient History), holding a full fellowship and was a student of Dr. Edwin Yamauchi. From 1989-97 he taught history at Azusa Pacific University, where he helped to launch the Common Day of Learning, The Pew Honors Society, and the Night of Champions. In 1996 he served as Director of Education for The Scriptorium: Center for Christian Antiquities established by the late multi-millionaire financier Robert Van Kampen. He helped facilitate the Scriptorium's two international conferences held at Van Kampen's former Hampton Court Manor House, in Herefordshire, co-sponsored with the British Library. During his time at The Scriptorium, Pattengale also acted as liaison in local middle school classrooms that were participating in The Scriptorium's Odyssey in Egypt online archaeological education program, a multi-variegated virtual curriculum that linked the young students to the excavation and its staff. The program generated millions of hits through its association with Sloman’s “Day in the Life of” series and received international recognition. In 2007, he served as a consultant for Lee Strobel’s film The Case for Christ (produced by Peter Schockey). He has served Indiana Wesleyan University, predecessor to Marion College, his alma mater, in academic administration since 1997, most recently as Assistant Provost for Public Engagement. Pattengale was a non-resident Senior Fellow at Baylor University's Center for the Studies of Religion (before rotating off in 2015), which is associated with the Green Collection. He is on the National Board for Religion News Service and Yale's Jonathan Edwards' Center, and serves as the Associate Publisher for Christian Scholar's Review.
