Our Service-Learning Model
Service-Learning is designed as an assignment replacement, integrating seamlessly into an existing course. Our Service Learning model consists of three main sections:
- Pre-Service Reflection (5 hours): This assignment consists of about 30 pages of reading and a 4-page pre-service reflection paper.
- Service Project (10 hours): A community service project at a local nonprofit in which the service correlates with in-class instruction.
- Post-Service Reflection (5 hours): A 5-page reflection paper that utilizes the 4 Cs of critical reflection.
