Overview
The Faculty Fellows Seminar is an opportunity to learn about service-learning pedagogy and integrate it into an appropriate course in the company of friends and colleagues from a number of departments (and institutions). It is also an opportunity to learn about other types of engaged scholarship in addition to service-learning.
Faculty Fellows:
- investigate the theories and models of learning behind service-learning;
- discover how others have successfully integrated service-learning into their own disciplines and courses at Loyola and at colleges and universities nationally and internationally;
- explore syllabi and principles of good practice by prominent leaders in their fields and academe;
- provide and receive feedback on course development in interactive small groups
- engage in a comprehensive look at structured reflection and its role in integrating diverse forms of learning;
- meet community partners and explore reciprocal partnerships;
- inquire into methodologies of assessment and evaluation;
- review the ‘nuts and bolts’ of teaching service-learning courses at Loyola;
- learn about various forms of engaged scholarship in addition to service-learning; and
- integrate service-learning into one of their courses so that they comply with Loyola’s service-learning definition and course criteria for best practices (i.e., for successful designation as service-learning courses following the seminar).
