TY - JOUR AU - Clever, Molly PY - 2016/06/01 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Service Learning: Strategies, Outcomes, and Assessments JF - TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology JA - TRAILS VL - IS - SE - DO - UR - https://trails.asanet.org/article/view/service-learning-strategies-outcomes-and SP - AB - This handbook is designed for classroom instructors who integrate service-learning pedagogy into their courses. Much has already been written on the theoretical foundations of service-learning and evidence of its effectiveness for student learning. This handbook is designed as a short, accessible, and practical how-to guide for instructors seeking to apply this body of theory and research to the practical tasks of linking service-learning experiences with course learning outcomes and assessment techniques. Initially designed to help improve service-learning outcomes for a Social Justice curriculum within a Sociology department at a small liberal arts college, this handbook was written with the intention to be flexible and adaptable to a wide range of disciplines, educational environments, and service-learning activities from small scale to large. Although its objective is inter-disciplinary in nature, the core of this project is rooted in social justice education. Our overarching objective is to develop service-learning pedagogy that integrates in-class and out-of-class experiences with a high level of intellectual rigor to prepare students for success in contributing to positive social change. We hope that this handbook can serve as a jumping-point for instructors from a wide range of disciplines and educational approaches to customize a set of strategies to suit the needs of their students and program curriculum.
