Best Practices in Service-Learning—  A Seminar Series for Leaders: Level 2+ (2017-2018)

This seminar series is designed for "graduates" of "Service-Learning: Level 1" or "Level 2+" course(s) who wish to continue their professional growth as service-learning/PBL practitioners and leaders. The seminar  experience will function as an interactive professional learning community (PLC) and "think tank" that  enables participants to "work on the work" of service-learning together. Seminar participants will enhance their instructional practice through a variety of professional reflection, collaboration, and leadership development experiences. They will use resulting skills and insights to help build service-learning/PBL awareness, support, and sustainability in their respective settings.
