Community Based Learning: Service Learning and Community Outreach New Faculty Overview

From Notre Dame’s Mission Statement: “...The University seeks to cultivate in its students not only an appreciation for the great achievement of human beings but also a disciplined sensibility to the poverty, injustice and oppression that burden the lives of so many. The aim is to create a sense of human solidarity and concern for the common good that will bear fruit as learning becomes service to justice.”

Service- or Community-Based Learning: “A form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote learning and development. Reflection and reciprocity are key concepts of service-learning” (Jacoby, 1996). “A pedagogy that allows students to develop academic and professional skills in the context of meaningful, applied work with community organizations.” (Kasworm, 1997)

Best practices in community-based learning (CBL) (Eyler and Giles, 1999) Application has been shown to be the strongest predictor of learning outcomes. Well-designed service-learning provides opportunities for students to engage with faculty which is associated with most of the positive outcomes of the university experience. Community voice is a predictor of personal development and learning outcomes; collaboration is essential. Opportunities for reflection are critical; students must be provided with the opportunity to consider their work in context. Quality of site placement is significantly correlated with student learning

MCOB Highlights Since 2000, over 35 Mendoza faculty have incorporated CBL Typically 8-14 courses offered each semester Mendoza ranked #5 globally for integration of social and environmental stewardship Courses, internships, programs and extracurriculars

Resources MCOB Community-based Learning Coordinator Community connections, available projects, suggestions and samples, tools for incorporation, facilitation of meetings, resource materials and more Internal and external resources, sample syllabi Center for Social Concerns Course development grants, CBR fellowships and more

Course Development Grants: The Center for Social Concerns accepts proposals for three $2,500 summer grants to fund the design of a new course or a major redesign of an existing course. A special initiative for faculty interested in incorporating social concerns into their courses through community-based learning. DEADLINE: The Rodney F. Ganey, Ph.D., Faculty Community-Based Research Award $5000 grant available for those who have completed at least one research project that addresses a need within South Bend or the surrounding area. DEADLINE: FRI, JANUARY 25, 2009 Community-Based Research Mini-Grant $7000 support joint faculty-student- community research partnerships* addressing a social challenge articulated by a community organization. DEADLINE: WED, JANUARY 21, 2009

Questions to consider: Why include community-based projects in your course? How do these projects help you achieve your course goals? What are the steps required to successfully implement applied projects? What are some of the challenges with implementation? General challenges, and those unique to undergraduate and MBA courses? What are the benefits from incorporating community-based learning? What makes it worth the investment of time? What are specific benefits to you as MCOB faculty?
