Service Learning

Service Learning is a valuable teaching methodology that combines meaningful service to the community with curriculum-based learning. Critical to this type of learning is inclusion of time for students to reflect on their service experience. Reflection time helps students make the connection between classroom theory and community action, and ensures they understand the extent to which they can impact positive change. By teaching students early on about the role they can play in their community, service learning also encourages life-long civic participation.
