This seminar will focus on integrating specific service learning projects/activities into faculty particular field. Faculty may revise or create a new course, or create additional options for service learning (such as interdisciplinary or linked courses). Curriculum development issues, classroom/service site management, and classroom assessment issues will also be discussed in this seminar; thus covering the final preparation in implementing faculty course.
Showcase of the Seminar:
Following this rotation of S1-S4, a College-wide three-hour workshop will be conducted by the seminar participants for the full faculty on what service learning means in the Creighton College of Arts and Sciences. It is the hope that following this workshop, other faculty will become interested in engaging in service-learning and implementing service-learning into their courses, thus increasing the opportunities for students to engage in the Jesuit mission at its fullest.
