Pare Model for Service Learning • Preparation – community need, possible outcomes, resources, student understanding, student and community partner expectations and assumptions • Action – What the service will look like? Is the organization the best fit for my course and/or students • Reflection – get students thinking critically about their experience, challenge attitudes, beliefs and assumptions, and nurture a broader awareness of an issue. Why? • Evaluation – How successful was the project for the students, organization, people who use the organization? Consider changes to improve overall success.
PhotoVoice is now a community-wide effort! Please be a part of this collection of images by using our hashtag when you post photos of what "Springfield community" means to you!
Best practices moving forward • Start small • Have a back up plan • Embrace the use of digital tools in service learning for increased flexibility and access • Strive to include students in the planning and implementation of the project • Incorporate digital SL projects into fully online courses
