TIME How to Grow? What can incorporate service-learning courses? Service Learning versus


is clear that not all courses can incorporate Service Learning methodology. .
Now that we are considering looking for new courses for next semester we invite you to think about the minimum requirements that must be a way to incorporate this methodology.

Some examples of requirements (dicutibles obviously):

1. The service component must be evaluated with more than 30% of the final grade.
2. The course must include at least two instances of reflection on the service.
3. The teacher must attend at least one training instance.
4. The teacher should be able to evaluate each service products.
5. The course can not be freshmen

and so ... though it has not been necessary soon we establish certain minimum requirements.
and we'd love your suggestions. do it using the space: Comments below.

Ideally, the methodology of service learning, both aspects are seen as equally important.
However, when choosing, in the extreme situation that a teacher had to prioritize the learning of their students or the quality of service, both of which were not possible to develop simultaneously
What should be emphasized?

For example,
Suppose that an institution will offer a particular product during the semester we realize that in reality will not serve what we offer, but if you serve other than students can do but not with the expected learning realaciona course.
One possibility is to continue the initial work, although this does not serve the institution, another is to modify the work with the risk of not learning.

What do you do there?

Summary Deathwatch By Robb White

The challenge of the participation


As many of you already know we are developing next year's planning. In A + S UC important part of the program's achievements to the credit for this instance was generated participatory.
Teachers, community partners and student representatives have participated Network in the generation of strategic guidelines and the implementation of activities that have enabled us to grow. However, participation means allowing others to make important decisions and this is not easy. Different actors
think differently, have different perspectives and reconciliation is not always possible.
what to do to include the different views in our plan for next year?
hope that the meetings this week with teachers and students give us insights on how to continue ... and we can build a program that represents us all. If anyone has a strategy, an activity or an opinion that contribution in the planning process is always welcome! .. and hope to integrate
