Description
App State faculty members are invited to be a part of the spring cohort of service-learning faculty fellows. Participation in the cohort means attending workshops for two days followed by a syllabus-development luncheon. We'll spend the time focused on discussing the foundations of civic engagement, syllabus design, service-learning course objectives, appropriate reflections/writing assignments for service-learning classes, nuts-and-bolts of community involvement and the role of civic engagement in tenure and promotion. Participants receive a small stipend for attending all sessions. Additional support is available for fellows who present on civic engagement or their experience utilizing service-learning at a conference. Space is limited.
The spring cohort meets Tuesday, February 27th and Thursday, February 29th from 8:30AM-3:00PM with a syllabus luncheon from noon-1:00 on Tuesday, April 2nd.
