NEW to Service-Learning
What is service-learning?
Service-learning is a teaching strategy that integrates community-based
learning experiences with the academic curriculum to enhance student
learning and address community issues. This form of experiential
learning emphasizes analysis and reflection, and allows students to
meet their learning goals while engaged in projects identified by
community organizations in collaboration with faculty.
Service-learning fosters the interaction of experiences with
disciplinary knowledge and theory-based scholarship. As an
instructional approach, service-learning enhances students' knowledge
of academic disciplines, expands understanding of self, and links
learning to the current and future civic roles students will assume in
a multicultural democracy.
