In the beginning, service learning will require a little extra time for planning and preparation, but you will find that the benefits strongly outweigh the additional time you spend. Service learning is a means of enhancing classroom learning. Take advantage of already existing resources for curriculum, utilize students and community members as resources, consult with faculty who already teach service learning courses, and of course, contact the Center for Service Learning. We will consult with faculty on site selection, syllabi revision, student orientation, the design of reflection activities, and assessment/evaluation of student work.
