Educational Leadership Within a Service-Learning Framework

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Lecture) Service-learning is an educational approach that integrates service in the community with intentional learning outcomes. By providing students with the opportunity to frame theoretical learning in real-life situations, service-learning leads students to broaden their horizons and to change their perspectives on their participation as citizens of a diverse democracy. This course utilizes a methodology that combines academic instruction, meaningful service and critical reflective thinking to promote student learning and civic responsibility. Students should have flexibility in their schedule as they must complete 40 hours of community service at a designated site as part of the course requirements.
