Service Learning Partnerships

Service learning partnerships utilize innovative teaching pedagogies that shift the focus from classroom to external settings on and off-campus. Employing experiential learning styles that differ from traditional classroom pedagogies, service learning partnerships actively engage students, making them responsible for their own learning. Although both are experiential, service learning partnerships transcend volunteer experiences by requiring reflective practice of new knowledge and skills. Service learning partnerships provide a diversity of opportunities for contextualized learning, stressing interaction and feedback.
