Service Learning Project

A project where students will work with others towards a stated goal in one or more of: creativity, activity, and service. All projects should have a defined goal, should last one month from planning to completion, and follow the Service Learning stages. The Service Learning project should challenge students to show initiative, demonstrate perseverance, and develop skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and decision-making. The purpose is to sustain collaboration and to see the benefits of teamwork and of achievements realized through an exchange of ideas and abilities. There should be a genuine need identified. Learning outcomes should be identified to guide the role of the student and their responsibilities in the Service Learning project. Students should reflect on their project experience.

Service Learning Stages

The Service Learning stages offer a helpful and supportive framework and process for Service Learning students. These stages represent a process and sequence that can assist students in many aspects of their life. They follow a process they can apply to future situations.

The Service Learning stages:

1. Investigation: Students identify their interests, skills, and talents to be used in considering opportunities for Service Learning experiences, as well as areas for personal growth and development. Students investigate what they want to do and determine the purpose for their Service Learning experience. In the case of service, students identify a need they want to address.

2. Preparation: Students clarify roles and responsibilities, develop a plan of actions to be taken, identify specified resources and timelines, and acquire any skills as needed to engage in the Service Learning experience.

3. Action: Students implement their idea or plan. This often requires decision-making and problem solving. Students may work individually, with partners, or in groups.

4. Reflection: Students describe what happened, express feelings, generate ideas, and raise questions. Reflection can occur at any time during Service Learning to further understanding, to assist with revising plans, to learn from the experience, and to make explicit connections between their growth, accomplishments, and the learning outcomes for personal awareness. Reflection may lead to new action.

5. Demonstration: Students make explicit what and how they learned and what they have accomplished, for example, by sharing their Service Learning experience through their Service Learning portfolio or with others in an informal or formal manner. Through demonstration and communication, students solidify their understanding and evoke response from others.
Service Learning Project Reflection:
The Four Elements of Service Learning Reflection

1. Describing what happened: students retell their memorable moments, identifying what was important or influential, what went well or was difficult, obstacles and successes.

2. Expressing feelings: students articulate emotional responses to their experiences.

3. Generating ideas: rethinking or re-examining choices and actions increases students’ awareness about themselves and their situations.

4. Asking questions: questions about people, culture, processes or issues prompt further thinking and ongoing inquiry.
