Practical Guide for Integrating Civic Responsibility into the Curriculum, (A) (Second Edition)

This book provides practical, easy-to-use applications for community college faculty to integrate civic responsibility concepts and practices into their courses; includes more than 40 different exercises, activities, and assessment tools. Recognizing that an intentional civic responsibility component was missing from many service learning initiatives, AACC selected six colleges from around the country to participate in a pilot project whose purpose was to identify service learning strategies to boost civic engagement and foster civic responsibility among community college students. The six participating colleges are Albuquerque TVI Community College, Albuquerque, New Mexico; Glendale Community College, Glendale, California; Hocking College, Nelsonville, Ohio; Mesa Community College, Mesa, Arizona; Miami-Dade Community College, Miami, Florida; and Oakton Community College, Des Plaines, Illinois. This guide is the result of two years of work by faculty, staff, and administrators at these colleges. (editors)
