Developing Productive and Ethical SLCE Partnerships
Community engagement teaching methods, often discussed as “service learning,” are ones that combine a course’s learning goals and community service in ways that can enhance student growth and the common good. In the words of the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse, it is “a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities” (2011). When done well, these teaching methods have a positive impact on students’ critical thinking, research, problem-solving, intercultural, civic, and leadership abilities, along with greater personal efficacy and career development, all the while growing the capacity of community organizations and contributing to social change (Eyler et al., 2001). This Spring, we will have two workshops on service-learning and community engagement. This is the second workshop, Developing Productive and Ethical SLCE Partnerships. All faculty, graduate students, and staff are welcome to attend.

Facilitator: Joe Bandy, Center for Teaching and Department of Sociology
Date: February 9th
Time: 12:00-1:30pm
