From mdherron at langston.edu Thu May 5 08:29:33 2016 From: mdherron at langston.edu (HERRON, MARSHA D) Date: Thu, 5 May 2016 13:29:33 +0000 Subject: [Lu_faculty] Faculty Development Announcement May 5th in Gandy Message-ID: <3E315F6936270542835454B8B155494B314DDBB7@EXCHANGE-MB1.lunet.edu> Good afternoon, All, Your faculty development workshop for today is listed below. Please also read the remainder of the email for additional instructions for connection. All faculty development will be counted as professional development and can be listed on your vitae. Thursday, May 5th @ 3:00 pm Gandy Hall Aliya Chaudry Preparing Students to Meet Community Needs Through Academic Service Learning Service learning, as applied within an educational environment, is defined as a teaching and learning tool. This teaching and learning tool combines community service with academic study in ways that motivate student learning. Students are required to actively participate in structured events which give them opportunities to plan and use skills and knowledge learned in the classroom to address community needs in real-life situations. In this manner, service learning extends beyond the classroom and fosters a sense of caring for others in the community. The key components to consider when designing a service learning component for a course is to include an academically-based community service project directed at addressing any aspect of community health needs combined with an academically structured learning experience. The student is involved in selecting, designing, implementing, assessing and reflecting on the learning experience, and participating in addressing any aspect of health and disease concerns within the community. Thus, students are able to see the connection between service and academic work. Success of the service learning activity is evaluated against not only whether the course teaching objectives are met but also whether the community partner?s need objectives and the student?s learning objectives are met. The benefits and implications of a service learning activity are evident at multiple levels and extend beyond the borders of Langston University. Regardless of the course or discipline, using service learning as a teaching and learning tool serves to enhance student learning and create strong community-campus partnerships. Objectives: By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to: 1. Explain what is academic service learning 2. Identify components of an academic service learning project. 3. Describe process for adding service learning to an academic course. 4. Value role of faculty as facilitator in academic service learning. 5. Recognize the benefits of academic service learning Adobe Connect Link http://langstonuniversity.adobeconnect.com/r3dzt9l6ruf/ See Other FD Information Below Good morning, All, We have exciting news!!!!
