Service-Learning Course Design for Community Colleges

This practical guide offers insight, models, and step-by-step instruction for enriching students' community college experience through service-learning. Designed specifically for community college faculty, this book addresses the strengths and challenges of two-year institutions in engaging students through service-learning across all disciplines. Details models for incorporating service-learning into the curriculum include introducing a service-learning course component, adding a fourth-credit option, and creating a stand-alone service-learning course. In each case, sample course descriptions, syllabi, forms, and tools guide faculty through the process. Also includes accompanying discussions on assessing outcomes and on using service-learning to build attainment pathways and to enhance the scholarship of teaching and learning.
