Service learning: A primer

File docx 163KB

Service learning is a powerful tool in the teaching of management. Many of our OBTS colleagues utilize service learning in their classrooms, and some publish extensively on the topic. This workshop, intended as a primer for faculty new to service learning, will feature several experienced faculty who will clarify service learning, explain benefits and challenges, share specific examples and lessons learned (before, during and at the end of the course). The discussion will be instructive (materials provided) and interactive--engaging participants’ questions throughout--and will close with tips for identifying and gaining support from mentors.
