PBL and Service-Learning Although many schools require students to participate in community service, this tradition draws mixed reviews. Some students become deeply engaged in volunteer endeavors while others grudgingly track time served. By remodeling community service hours into service-learning projects, schools can maximize the benefits for students and communities alike. This webinar will offer strategies to improve the community service experience by integrating best practices from project-based learning. Examples will showcase projects that put equal emphasis on service and learning, increase student voice and choice, and strengthen ties between students and their communities. Presenter is Suzie Boss, a member of the Buck Institute for Education National Faculty, co-author of Reinventing Project-Based Learning, and a frequent contributor to Edutopia.org. 337 views
Maximizing the Long-term Sustainability of Service-Learning: Lessons from a Study of Early Adopters This webinar shares the findings of Amanda Vogel's recent study of a cohort of 17 higher education institutions that participated in the 1995-1998 CNCS-funded Health Professions Schools in Service to the Nation (HPSISN) program. Drawing on interviews with key faculty and staff from 16 of these schools, the presenters will describe the factors most deeply influencing the sustainability of service-learning in the HPSISN institutions and will provide recommendations for how funders, academic institutions, and faculty and staff involved in service-learning can best support sustainability.
