Learning Community designed and run by Adam Blazej (Philosophy) and Inna Kapilevich (Slavic Languages)

Part 1: January 31, 4:00 – 5:45 PM, 204 Butler Library – Register
Part 2: February 7, 4:00 – 5:45 PM, 204 Butler Library – Register

In this learning community, we will introduce and discuss some models for designing and integrating service-learning into curricula. In the first session, we will jointly interrogate some of the assumptions and motivations guiding these models, looking at previously executed service-learning projects. In the second session, we will feature a workshop in which participants, with the help of real-time peer feedback, can design such a project that they could use in their own classroom.
