Community learning is an established pedagogy. Departments and faculty are more engaged available with community organizations and addressing social causes. The challenge remains to fine tune community learning to academic study, refine reflection, inculcate ethics, practice risk management, impact community, collect research, and recognize service in the RTP process.
Keys to Optimum Community Learning:
Best practices Overview:
Visit the community partner website or organization, speak with the community agent, define the community learning relative to community/organization needs, invite the community agents to class to orient students, determine reflection activities, require the Student Service-Learning Plan as integral to the pedagogy and to risk management, report your service-learning to CCLL via the Faculty/Campus Record of Service-Learning Placements, request evaluation/assessment of the experience.
