The Office of Civic Engagement will support up to five faculty to participate in the Global Service-Learning Institute, November 5-7 at Stella Maris Retreat Center in Skaneateles, NY. If you currently use service-learning pedagogy in an international setting, or you are considering it, this institute offers a unique opportunity to develop effective strategies and vet them through a peer review process.
This event is a collaboration between Cornell University, New York Campus Compact, and Amizade.
In addition to principles of course and partner development, an assessment expert will provide a module on effectively student learning assessment in global service-learning. If you are interested and available, please contact Marianne Ridley, m.ridley@cornell.edu no later than Friday, October 24.
Advancing Community Driven Global Service-Learning: Promising Practices
November 5-7, 2014
Stella Maris Retreat and Renewal Center, Skaneateles, NY
The 7th annual Global Service-Learning Institute will build upon established institute strengths in global service-learning pedagogy and program development, while also integrating more explicit attention to best practices in community-based planning, community development, and movement-building within global service-learning. Previous institutes have highlighted encouragement of institutional teams and the opportunity to workshop global service-learning programs during the institute, along with deep collaboration, dialogue with, and learning from like-minded peers. Given the success of last year’s institute, we will continue to provide participants with the opportunity to further develop their global service-learning programs – whether they are novice or advanced – in a retreat setting in the beautiful upstate NY village of Skaneateles, NY.
Campus Compact Members: $195.00
