Create Syllabus
incorporating Service-Learning:
Instructors will then create a course syllabus for each course
they are offering service-learning. A copy of each semester
syllabus needs to be turned into the Service-Learning Center.
Present initial idea of
program to students in a positive manor directing them to an
orientation. During the first class meeting each instructor will
present the concept of service-learning to their students.
Complete Placement
form with the student.
Each semester as an instructor you will need to sign the
placement form for each student interested in completing a
project. By doing so you are letting
the staff of the Service-Learning Center know that
you have looked over the competencies and the agency listed on
this form and agree that they are acceptable to you.
Do student follow up
(reflection):
Instructors know that a vital part of service-learning is the
reflection component. There are several ways to do reflection,
such as classroom reflection, office hour reflection, reflection
journal, and reflection paper.
Collect final projects and
information:
The staff of the Service-Learning Center will let
each instructor know those students who completed their
projects. As instructors they will let the staff know which
students completed the required class work so that the staff can
send a final report to the records office to have student
transcripts noted. A copy of the reflection paper is required
to be turned into our office at the end of each semester in
order for our staff to give full credit to students.
At times instructor may relay
information to student or students for the
Service-Learning Center Staff. If the staff of the Service-Learning Center needs to contact a student but the
student does not return call to the Service-Learning
Center when requested, the staff may send a message to the
instructor.
