Basic Requirements for Service-Learning

Six Steps to Incorporate Service-Learning

1. Integrate service-learning into the syllabus and/or create service-learning assignment handout for students (submit to the Service-Learning Office).
  • Post all syllabi to the repository. Only assignment sheets should be sent to the Service-Learning OFfice.
  • Students should see the ONE service-learning course learning “outcome” and your class-specific rationale for service.
  • Do they understand what to do and how it’s important to their learning of your material?
  • Students who are serving at community sites should do at least 10 hours of service-learning. According to research, 20 hours is an ideal amount of “face time” to effect change and significant development in the service-learning student. Serving for 20+ hours also helps our community organizers see the benefits of the training they’ve given students.
  • We can help introduce service-learning to your class, please email Candice Sakuda to schedule a visit.
2. All service-learning students must register online.

Direct them to our service-learning website to get started. Registration is important as it covers:

  • liability and release of student work/likeness
  • site/community agreement
  • students doing service-learning for more than one class
  • WASC requirements
  • helps with student scholarships, awards, development of new projects

We will send you a report after the registration deadline.

3. Facilitate student reflection.
  • Offer written and/or oral prompts (see samples).
  • As you cover material in class, ask students for insights/examples from their service-learning experience.

Whether or not they opted for service-learning, all your students should understand why you offered it in your course.

4. Follow up.

Did we honor commitment to the community? Does the Service-Learning Office have complete records of your students’ service hours?

  • Attrition? Technical/logistical problems? Just communicate. The Service-Learning Office can help manage the community relationship IF we know what’s going on.
  • We’ll send you an end-of-semester report, with everything your students submit. Please SEND US any other data you may have.
5. Submit evidence to the Service-Learning Office.
  • Share raw evidence of progress toward service–learning Course Learning Outcome: How did students demonstrate that they understood the connection between the service experience and the course content?
  • Typically, this is easily assessed through written reflections. All we need is the “raw material” from students.
  • You don’t have to process anything (except for your own grading purposes).
6. Share work at Service-Learning Day.

We can pick up and store anything you have to share.

  • Our annual celebration of service-learning needs submissions from both fall and spring semesters.
  • Posters, presentations, photos, etc. are all welcome.
  • We can help prepare displays year-round.
