Description
Combining the most current theory and practice in the field of service-learning with many examples from actual campuses, Service-Learning in Higher Education is a comprehensive guide to developing high-quality service-learning experiences both in the curriculum and through student affairs programs.
Description
The book contains such useful information as basic principles that define a solid, viable service-learning program; guidelines for designing programs to encourage desired outcomes; methods to maximize the potential for service and learning in one time or short-term experiences; ways in which faculty can integrate service-learning into courses; a review of intensive service-learning experiences, including alternative breaks, summer experiences, and national and international service; issues faculty need to consider in deciding how to achieve course objectives through service-learning; ways of assisting students to make career and lifestyle choices based on the values they acquire through service-learning; the steps to take when starting a service-learning program; and methods for institutionalizing service-learning to ensure it is sustainable over time.
Description
As an added value, the book describes and provides contact information for national organizations that support service-learning and resources that are useful in helping students make postcollege service and career choices. Service-Learning in Higher Education is an invaluable resource for all campus professionals - including faculty members, student affairs practitioners, and senior academic leaders who are interested in advancing the goals of student learning and development while simultaneously making a unique contribution to the community.
