Incorporating Service-learning into the Curriculum
Service-learning is a pedagogical model that intentionally integrates community service, academic learning, and civic learning into a meaning educational experience for the student. Service-learning requires faculty to incorporate into lesson plans engagement with community partners and structured reflection into student assignments. Dr. Isakow spoke on the process and best practices for developing service-learning courses.
