This online course is designed to deliver our regional workshop, Academics in Action, a one-day (7-hour) workshop, via distance learning.  Rather than physically traveling to a site and participating in face-to-face discussions and activities with fellow attendees, you will gain your knowledge via a variety of approaches:

• Online lessons delivered via text, video and audio formats

• Conducting your case study analyses online rather than in small discussion groups

• Presenting your findings and demonstrating your learning online rather than in person

• If enrolled with a team, you will be able to share your ideas in a Collaboration web page set up for your team

• You will receive individualized support via email from the facilitator.

Upon the conclusion of this workshop/course, and the presentation of your Framework for a Service Learning Project, you will receive the same certificate of completion as participants who have attended this workshop on-site in various cities.  This may be presented to your school district for credit toward professional development hours.  Certificates are for 7 hours of professional development.

During this workshop we will explore the concept of Service-Learning and examine actual examples of real projects done by students.  You will find answers to these questions and more:

Ø      What is Service-Learning?

Ø      What are the components of a Service-Learning project:

Ø      How do we organize such a project?

Ø      How do we decide what kind of project to do?

Ø      How big should this project be?

Ø      Can this project carry the mandated curriculum?

Ø      Can this project be an After-School Program?

You will also:

• View excellent models of actual service learning projects

• Begin a preliminary design for a service-learning project to take back to your school, based on the resources and needs in your community.

• Learn about excellent resources, from books and web sites to grants and funding.
