Service-Learning Course Design for Community Colleges

This practical guide offers insight, models, and step-by-step instruction for enriching students¿ community college experience through service-learning. Detailed models for incorporating service-learning into the curriculum across all disciplines include introducing a service-learning course component, adding a fourth-credit service-learning option, and creating a stand-alone service-learning course. In each case, sample course descriptions, syllabi, forms, and tools guide faculty through the process. Accompanying discussions on assessing outcomes and on using service-learning to build attainment pathways and contribute to the scholarship of teaching and learning make this book an essential addition to any community college faculty library.Baratian, Marina is the author of 'Service-Learning Course Design for Community Colleges', published 2007 under ISBN 9780972939485 and ISBN 0972939482.
