Service-Learning Partner Field Trips
RSVP to hiser@hawaii.edu
We will be visiting two secret locations. At each stop, you will meet one of our community partners, talk story with Kapi'olani CC faculty already working with this site, and visualize the site as an experience for YOUR students. We will be designing curricula to support reflection and demonstration of content-based learning outcomes in your courses. Meet great colleagues from different disciplines, learn about service-learning as a pedagogy, about our new blog, and about our community and how you, your students, and the college can make a difference.
Faculty attending the partner field trip will also receive individualized consultation to design service-learning materials for your course, present the option to your students, and assess the impact on student learning.

Service-Learning & Sustainability Annual Summer Faculty Institute

Service-Learning Partner Field Trip Spring 2012 - On January 6, 2012, 5 faculty members new to Service-Learning joined their experienced peers on a field trip to visit three community partner sites, Palolo Valley Homes (Palolo 'Ohana Learning Center and Palolo Discovery Science Center), Manoa Heritage Center, and Le'ahi Hospital (including the Le'ahi Sensory Stimulus Garden). These faculty had the opportunity to hear from community partners about the history of their organization, its needs, and the kinds of service activities students engage in through service-learning, and then were asked to envision how students from their courses might find ways to connect course content with partner site. It was a jam-packed day and we're so glad to have been able to share with these faculty.
