Nurturing the Citizen Scholar: Cultivating the Classroom Culture for Service-learning Assignments

• In Event: G.I.F.T.S. Session II

Abstract

To meet the growing demand to “engage” our students, this presentation will provide a strategy and follow up activities for introducing the concept of civic engagement and responsibility to students in any course where service-learning assignments will be utilized. Service-learning is a pedagogy in experiential learning that assists students in understanding the link between their course material and its application to community needs.
