Students, the Curriculum and Their Communities

Program Description: Service-learning is a teaching and learning pedagogy that combines standards-based instruction with authentic community service. Students use reflection to create solutions and participate civically in their own community.  Combining the classroom standards and the community outside the school allows for powerful outcomes to arise, no matter what subject or grade level you teach.  The possibilities are myriad. One example of service-learning may involve students researching and interviewing local farmers in the area about the use of GMOs and then presenting their findings to the community.  Students could research causes of AIDS and HIV then create an awareness campaign to inform various stakeholders. Students could interview elders in their community about their needs and create a play to perform to the community. They can charge for the play and that money can be used to pay for some of the elders’ needs that were identified in the interviews. The major idea behind any service-learning experience is that students become the vehicle for social change in their communities. Come spend the day diving deep into service-learning. We will spend the day exploring resources, problem-solving, collaborating, and planning for service-learning projects.
