服务学习, Community Engagement, and Sustainable Partnerships
什么是服务学习?
在365滚球官网, service learning is more than a teaching strategy that integrates course content with community service; it is the cornerstone of our institutional mission to 参与 learning, scholarship, and service 在本地, regionally, nationally, and globally. Our program fosters deeply enriching learning experiences that facilitate a mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources among a diverse array of community partners.
Consistent with the New England Resource Center for Higher Education's (NERCHE) standard, 我们是一对。”...university knowledge and resources with those of the public and private sectors to enrich scholarship, 研究, and creative activity; enhance curriculum, teaching and learning; prepare educated, 参与d citizens; strengthen democratic values and 公民 responsibility; address critical societal issues; and contribute to the public good." Our mission is to provide "outreach that inspires innovation" and we do this by designing opportunities for University of Idaho students and faculty to 参与 in meaningful and sustainable local-to-global service learning experiences that advance knowledge, 丰富的学习, and improve the lives of our citizens.
Teaching, Learning, Service, and Scholarship
"...the academy must become a more vigorous partner in the search for answers to our most pressing social, 公民, economic and moral problems, and must reaffirm its historic commitment to what I call the scholarship of 参与ment." - Ernest Boyer, 1996, The Scholarship of Engagement, 公共服务杂志 & 外展, 1(1), 11-20
研究 is central to our efforts to promote the greater good, and the Center supports and facilitates partnerships that address and solve complex social and global issues. 教师 and community partners routinely serve as co-教育工作者, providing differentiating experiences for our students. Increasingly, we also serve as co-作者, advancing knowledge and innovation through our scholarship. 以这种方式, we seek not only to solve problems through collaboration, but to generate and disseminate new methods to do so as well.
