Goal:

 

To actively engage our students in a learning process that is grounded in service, citizenship, and ethical awareness.

 

Challenge

 

Thoughtful integration of service, citizenship, and ethical awareness requires a close examination of curriculum and pedagogy. Recognizing that we are located in a small rural state with limited resources faculty must think of new ways to unit these concepts with their course material. Further, studies indicate that student reflection is a predictor of openness to new ideas, ability to see issues in a new way, “increased commitment to use of public policy to achieve social justice, and a more systemic locus of problem causes and solutions" (Eyler & Giles). While laudable goals they are not without challenges. 

 

 

Approach:

 

Enables students to learn in relevant, real world 21st century contexts (authentic learning)

 

21st century students will need to engage and understand how their actions affect themsleves and hte loves of others

 

 

Identify opportunities for applying 21st century skills across content areas

 

 

 

 

 Desired Outcome

John Dewey

  • Education must lead to personal growth;
  • Education must contribute to humane conditions; and
  • Education must engage citizens in associate with one another
