The Teaching Professor Online Seminar - Service-Learning Course Design: What Faculty Need to Know
Date: Wednesday, 04/14/10 / Time: 12:00 - 1:30 PM CDT / Cost: $239 ($264 after 04/07/10)
This web seminar is for faculty members in all disciplines who seek to invigorate teaching and learning through integrating course content with real-world experience.
Service-learning has tremendous potential to meet faculty goals for student learning while making unique contributions to addressing critical community needs. Service-learning enables students to deepen comprehension of course content, integrate theory with practice, increase understanding of the complexity of social issues, and sharpen their abilities to solve problems creatively and collaboratively.
Faculty members who enrich their teaching with service-learning explore the connections between their disciplines and the critical questions facing local and global society. Communities benefit from an influx of new energy and assistance to enhance the delivery of essential services. President Obama has declared service to be a national priority–a commitment he underscored by signing the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act into law in April 2009. The First Lady speaks regularly about service-learning as a priority for colleges and universities.
Creating an effective and meaningful service-learning course requires careful planning and logistical know-how. In Service-Learning Course Design: What Faculty Need to Know, Barbara Jacoby, Ph.D. will lead participants through an enthusiastic and insightful explanation of the workings of a successful service-learning course. This energetic, 90-minute audio online seminar will cover:
• What service-learning is and what it is not
• Fundamental principles of service-learning
• Finding worthwhile service experiences
• Developing mutually beneficial partnerships with community organizations
• Evaluating service experiences and learning outcomes
• Handling logistical issues, such as risk management, transportation, and safety
• Choosing reading and reflection activities to achieve desired learning goals
• Evaluating student performance
• Preparing students for work at the service site
You'll also receive a step-by-step course design worksheet.
