For Faculty

These pages will assist faculty members in better understanding service-learning pedagogy, and present ways in which our office can support the incorporation of service-learning into course curricula.

Developing a service-learning course or component offers the opportunity to:

• Discover inspiration and invigoration of teaching methods.
• Increase student contact through greater emphasis on student-centered teaching.
• Gain a new perspective on learning and an increased understanding of how learning occurs.
• Connect to the community with curriculum and become more aware of current societal issues as they relate to academic areas of interest.
• Identify areas for research and publication related to current trends and issues.

In this section:

• How to designate service-learning courses
• Faculty seminar in service-learning
• Service-learning advisory board
• Resources and Materials
• Community partnership opportunities
