An Experiential Process for Developing a Meaningful Group Service Project Mission While Simultaneously Learning Deeply From the Process
KEYWORDS: Group Decision-Making; Mission Development; Active Learning
This session will engage participants in a condensed version of the group decision-making process that I use to guide students through choosing a meaningful service mission that the whole class will ultimately work together to carry out as a vehicle for learning deeply about organizing and managing. Participants will actively undertake the first several steps of the collaborative decision-making process; then I will describe the latter steps that can’t realistically be done within this session. Together we will reflect on how to facilitate students’ learning deeply about collaborative decision-making and mission establishment throughout the full process.
