December 8, 2010

Overview

Develop service-learning programs based on a first-year student’s developmental stage.

Service-learning courses can make positive improvements to student learning and retention, but only if they are intentionally designed and developed. The first-year student experience can and should include service-learning opportunities, but when planning these programs, it is crucial to keep in mind the developmental stages of this population.

Join Academic Impressions in this archived webcast to discover why having service-learning as a part of your first-year student experience is supported by recent persistence data and learn how to intentionally develop programs based on a first-year student's developmental stage.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This archived recording is appropriate for schools with a service-learning component already in place and for those schools exploring the idea of developing a service-learning component within their student orientation and/or first-year student experience program. Participants will learn how to create courses, provide meaningful assignments, and choose service sites appropriate for first-year students.
