Service-Learning
Teaching students, serving communities.
Service-learning is a teaching method that integrates meaningful service as a component of course content and delivery. It enhances student learning, address community needs and fosters collaboration between academic institutions and communities.
To integrate service-learning in your course:
- Review course learning objectives.
Find objectives or topics in your syllabus that can be enhanced by community work or involvement. - List service projects related to your course.
Identify outputs, projects or services that students can provide for communities using the knowledge and skills learned from your course. - Match projects with community need.
Check our Community Engagement Projects and Partner Organizations and find a need you can address. - Meet us.
Bring your course syllabus, list of potential projects and list of potential community partners to COSCA’s Office and meet with our service-learning coordinator.
You will be oriented on the schedules and succeeding steps in service-learning course implementation. You may email us at [email protected] to set an appointment.
