Integrated Unit Development for Service Learning, K-12

Instructors: Barbara Kaufman and Charlie Ek

This course will provide training and application opportunities in the Service Learning model. Using the resources and needs of their communities to design learning activities, participants will explore how they can connect Service Learning to their adopted curriculum, develop student ownership and apply principles of apprentice citizenship in their instruction.

Participants will have time to develop plans for an integrated Service Learning project that they can implement in their classrooms. Teams and partners are encouraged to register as well as individual teachers. Service Learning is a means of increasing motivation, resources and authentic assessments for students. It is also a requirement in the newly adopted Maine Parameters of Essential Instruction.

KIDS Consortium consultant Barbara Kaufman and KODA Director Charlie Ek will lead this hands-on, activity-centered course.
