Fundamentals of Service-Learning Course Construction
Wednesday, Nov 16, 2005, 9:30 am to 4 pm
California Campus Compact

Featured Speaker: Dr. Kerrissa Heffernan, Brown University

This one-day workshop will draw upon an overview of over 900 service-learning syllabi and is designed to assist faculty in integrating service into an existing course or in constructing a new course using service-learning. Participants will examine disciplinary models for service learning, the basics of service-learning course construction, review service-learning assignments and examine courses that focus on the civic capacities of service learning. Participants are encouraged to bring syllabi and course materials.

This workshop is designed for faculty who are interested in service-learning but may not have ever implemented a course yet, as well as those who have taught a service-learning course. The afternoon session will deal with more advanced issues in service-learning course implementation.
