Community Partner Service-Learning Guidebook
The Community Partner Guidebook (PDF, 7.7MB)is designed to be a resource tool for community partners involved with service learning faculty/courses. The resource guide provides you with guidance on your role as a co-educator, designing a service-learning project, preparing students to serve at your organization, and facilitating student reflection activities.
Guiding Questions for Partnership Meetings
A service-learning experience is a collaborative partnership between a faculty member and a community organization(s). The faculty member and community organization(s) together identify a project or activity that addresses a community need or contributes to the necessary work of the organization. The Guiding Questions for Service-Learning Partnership Meetings are meant to be a guide for community partners and faculty to establish mutual expectations, discuss project objectives and details and contribute to the implementation of socially just and impactful community engagement.
The Art of Reflection
Reflection is integral to service-learning because it connects and reinforces in-class work, course readings, and service-learning experiences. It provides an opportunity for students to think critically about service experiences, examine and challenge personal values, beliefs, and opinions, while allowing students to ask questions, share ideas and experiences, challenge current solutions to community issues and develop plans to address community needs.
