Education as Action: Foundations of Service Learning Institute

Posted by CBK Associates on January 26, 2015

Education as Action: Foundations of Service Learning Institute from June 30-July 2, 2015 hosted at The Westminster School, Atlanta, Georgia

Ready to be revitalized? Curious about how to launch or advance your current service learning program? Join with likeminded educators to experience an effective approach for integrating service learning as a teaching pedagogy that meets the needs of 21st century learners. Service learning creates a conducive environment for developing transferable skills and knowledge, high engagement and authentic experiences that gives meaning and purpose to school for teachers as well as students. During these three days we will draw from the expertise of all who attend, as well as the knowledge from author and international consultant Cathryn Berger Kaye. The centerpiece will be understanding and experiencing the Five Stages of Service Learning to ensure confidence in implementing a robust program.

Highlights include:

• service learning guiding principles and concepts
• six entry points for the service learning process
• 21st century competencies integration
• transdisciplinary curricular mapping and design
• action research methods
• community partnerships
• and an in-depth look at reflection.

With highly interactive sessions, we will all advance with ideas, strategies and connections that will continue long beyond our time together. Receive two books including The Complete Guide to Service Learning, extensive handouts and attend a special outing to the new National Center for Civil and Human Rights. Discover how service learning informs, engages and prepares your students to think critically, care deeply and participate in significant actions as they contribute to the common good.
