Service-learning

This paper discusses the reflection and critical analysis of a service learning experience at Regent Care. Service learning is so much more than community service. Service learning is an experience in “which students learn the importance of giving back to the community while applying learned course material into the experience” (Sheafer, 2014). It also “provides students with opportunities to reflect broader system-level thinking” (Sabo et al., 2015). Through this experience students were…

Then I went to the office staff and explained that I was English Composition 2 and came to help for service learning. I should my phone that had the email with the information list because she wanted to see that. She wanted to give my form for BISD Letter is Human Resource Department with my Texas ID card. She wanted to copy it and then give it back to me with a letter put to my name,…

Throughout the duration of the service learning experience, conducted observations took place within the third grade classroom of Mrs. Hale at Cumberland Road Elementary. The respectably moderately sized classroom consisted of twenty students. Although the classroom was not substantially dense in population, multiple students did require Individualized Education Programs (IEP). This subgroup of students included three emotional based IEPs. Consequently, the third grass class of Mrs. Hale…

Service Learning Reflection Through my service learning experience in libs 3000 I have had the opportunity to learn invaluable classroom techniques and procedures that could only be learned through observation and practice. The service learning experience also offers future teachers a crucial resource to becoming good teachers. Additionally this experience allows those volunteering to see a different perspective on what teaching entails and if it is truly the path they will continue to follow.…

SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT For my Service Learning Project, I chose to spend an hour with a practicing religious friend of mine. Her name is Fredericka (Freddie) Beavers and I’ve known her for about 8 years. Freddie and I chose to meet on a few different occasions for lunch to discuss my service project requirements. I consider myself spiritual rather than religious. I was raised in the Baptist Church by my paternal Grandmother in San Antonio, Texas. The presence and knowledge of God has always…

Service learning can be a rewarding experience for both participated and the person who uses the volunteer. This was my first time experiencing an actual volunteering assignment outside of my field of interest. The experience allowed me to utilize multiple talents that I had. The experiences I have opened my time to be involved in are not the types of activities I’m normally not interested in. In order to get my service learning volunteer hours I had to go for three days at two different…

facilities through which to use for the programs available. The three main programs the YMCA focuses on are youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. For my purposes, I chose the social issue of youth development for my goal in the service learning project. Youth development is a very interesting issue in my eyes as it differs greatly from generation to generation. When I was growing up youth development mainly focused around areas such as school development and test taking…

For my Service Learning Project I decided to attend mass at a local Catholic church. I am interested in Catholicism as I have a few family members who are Catholic. Plus a significant amount of my classmates in this religion course were Catholic so I wondered what it was all about. I am not that familiar with Catholicism as I have only attended a few masses in my life for baptisms, weddings, funerals and such. I personally was saved in a non-denomination church and have continued to attend a…

I worked as a coordinator for student professional development in an office called Center for Academic Service Learning and Research at Azusa Pacific University as a graduate assistant last year. I was in charge of assisting and mentoring eight student workers, planning for office events, and participating in end of semester evaluations. Service Learning creates opportunities for students to practice what they have learned in class and put into practice at the local communities where everyone…

Service learning project For my service learning project, I choose to interview a coworker. I honestly did not know if he was religious or not, but my gut told me he was going to be a great interview. I really took this opportunity to not only learn about a different religion, but to learn about a person as well. I do not consider myself a bad person just because I am not “religious”. I just have not dedicated the time to learn what religion suits my beliefs. In doing this project I intend to…
