Service-Learning Faculty
Welcome Faculty!
Service-Learning is a teaching method that enriches learning by engaging students in meaningful service to their schools and communities. Students apply academic skills to solving real-world issues, linking established learning objectives with genuine needs. They lead the process, with adults as partners, applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills to concerns such as hunger, pollution, and diversity.
What are the Characteristics of Service-Learning? According to the National Commission on Service-Learning, Service-Learning:
- Links to academic content and standards
- Involves young people in helping to determine and meet real, defined community needs
- Is reciprocal in nature, benefiting both the community and the service providers by combining a service experience with a learning experience
- Can be used in any subject area so long as it is appropriate to learning goal
- Works at all ages, even among young children
We are pleased to partner with you in the development of your service-learning components.
