Discussion: Service Learning Across the Curriculum

Morehouse (2009) suggested that once you identify a learning connection, other standards within the curriculum simply begin “popping up” (para. 9). This may lead to the grounding of your project in multiple objectives you may not have previously considered. In developing your Service Learning Strategy Project Plan, you are working to connect closely the affective benefits of service with the learning objectives of schooling. This Discussion will help you articulate and receive feedback on how you are linking your Service Learning Strategy Project plan to specific learning objectives.

To prepare

Carefully review this week’s Learning Resources and any feedback you have received about your Service Learning Strategy Project Plan, the specific problem you have addressed with the service learning, and your progress in articulating for the project clear outcomes that mirror the learning objectives you have identified.

By Day 3

Post an explanation in which you do the following:

  • Describe the process you would use to identify learning objectives for your students in your own project planning. Which additional standards or objectives, if any, did you find for which you did not originally plan?
  • Describe any interdisciplinary planning derived from this process.
  • Describe the insights you gained about service learning and the potential it has to encourage social change. Provide specific examples from your plan.

Week 9: Service Learning for Social Change in the Community

No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution… revolution is but thought carried into action.

—Emma Goldman, “Anarchism”

There are many ways to engage students in the learning process. But not all project-based learning has the potential to encourage social change. How does your understanding of service learning help you work to stimulate the environment for social change? What changes would you like to see in your educational setting? What impact do you want your Service Learning Strategy Project to have on the lives of your students and the community? This week provides an opportunity to reflect on the project you are planning and how it specifically connects to learning outcomes and the kind of change you hope to encourage.

Note: Use this week to continue progress on your Service Learning Strategy Project.
