SERVICE LEARNING
is a simple teaching method
designed to help students learn!

It is a learn-by-doing approach to the curriculum.  Students get real life experiences in the subject studied by meeting  community needs through active participation.

Providing SERVICE LEARNING activities allows students to establish connections to their community and solve real community problems by applying  knowledge acquired in the classroom.

 


Students find participating in
 
SERVICE LEARNING activities helps them see the relevance of the materials taught in the classroom.


All SERVICE LEARNING projects should
consist of the following:

Student Preparation:  a link between service activities (community service) and specific classroom learning objectives.

Student Action: making a difference through acts of caring by personal contact in the community.

Student Reflection: a thoughtful consideration of the service experience, written or verbal, woven through out the service learning project. 

Student Celebration Demonstration: Once the project is successfully completed, students showcase their skills, insights and outcomes to an outside group such as other classmates, parents, the community or the media.

Evaluation: During “Student Preparation” students determine what “success” will look like when they reach the end of the project and how they will measure it. Then at the conclusion of the service learning experience students will find out if they achieved their desired results.
