Workshop: Theories & Models of Community-Based Teaching and Learning

Service-learning and community-based teaching and learning are considered High Impact Educational Practices by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), beneficial for all students from many backgrounds.According to AAC&U, ¿A key element in these programs is the opportunity students have to both apply what they are learning in real-world settings and reflect in a classroom setting on their service experiences. These programs model the idea that giving something back to the community is an important college outcome, and that working with community partners is good preparation for citizenship, work, and life.¿So is that why we (as faculty) employ community-based pedagogies? Join Duke Service-Learning for a look at the theoretical underpinnings of community-based pedagogies and different models for incorporating community-engaged experiences.
