I am quoting this blog post and discussing some of your other publications in an article I am submitting for publication today, about rhetoric and the service-learning movement. - Tania Smith, University of Calgary, Canada.Tania Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02004182095297132091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-89513657786620142302009-04-20T23:28:00.000-05:002009-04-20T23:28:00.000-05:00Great and interesting post!!

Our program is celebrating its 15th anniversary this Spring, and we are proud to say that we've grown from just ten courses offering Service Learning to now 65-70 each semester. As you stated, it is interesting to consider "All that is counted are students, courses, and hours. There is no community. There is no impact." <br />Our program does, of course, count courses and students and hours. But beyond simple statistics, our staff checks in with the community organizations at the end of each semester to reflect on the experience, and students are almost always required to reflect on their experience in class, through discussion and papers. Furthermore, our program creates five reflection sessions each semester so that students can come and discuss their experiences with others and form a stronger connection between class content and community service. <br />I cannot speak for all programs, but the program at Marquette certainly does go beyond quantitative data. You stated, "What is left unquestioned, and thus unanswered are just the basic questions: ”Service-learning for whom?” and “Service-learning for what?" Service learning is done for the student and for the community, and to help students gain a broader understanding of societal issues. Although not all students are able to successfully make these strong connections, many do, and their Service Learning experience has a lifelong impact. I very much support the bills in the House and Senate, and hope that Wisconsin submits Marquette as a leading campus for service.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169506479973764301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-54334813088999770702009-04-10T07:44:00.000-05:002009-04-10T07:44:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing us.Thanks for sharing us.Louishttp://www.doctortext.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-56629614277038021752009-03-30T03:33:00.000-05:002009-03-30T03:33:00.000-05:00You are right.Educational Activities Inc. publishe...You are right.<BR/>Educational Activities Inc. publishes a broad range of educational materials for early childhood, primary grades and middle school and high school. <BR/><BR/>Known for its outstanding children's music from Hap Palmer, Ella Jenkins, Frank Leto,middle school science dvds, Mar, Vincent and Brenda Colgate, the company's kids CDs are sold throughout the world.Recently the company has expanded to early childhood teacher training with a series of video-based programs that demonstrate teaching strategies.<BR/>www.edact.comgetproductsonlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09912942853495196068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-41500924096531371452009-03-27T01:07:00.000-05:002009-03-27T01:07:00.000-05:00Impressive Post.Impressive Post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
