In order to get started and obtain basic information, call the
Office of Academic Service-Learning at (718) 990-7903 to talk to
one of the administrators or drop by at any time. The Office
of Academic Service-Learning is located in Bent Hall Garden Level -
Reception Office. We will assist you in creating a
Service-Learning component for your class. We can also help
you to find appropriate community service sites.
To begin the initial planning process, you must decide:
- Which of your courses would be most appropriate for an Academic
Service-Learning option?
- What course objectives might be realized through an Academic
Service-Learning experience?
- Will this project be a group or individual endeavor?
- What type of community service site will be required for your
Service-Learning project.?
- Will the Service-Learning site be chosen by you, the faculty
member or will the student choose a service-site from the Office of
Service-Learning core community service agencies?
- How will you match the Service-Learning option with an
alternative course assignment the students in the class? For
example, 25% of the final grade for completing the Service-Learning
project or for completing a research paper.
