Community or Experiential Learning
Topic Statement (Joel Schwartz):
Do you use your community as a basis for experiential learning about how
local government functions. How do you merge this learning/these
experiences with the cognitive learning in the classroom.
For example:
Students who have taken my class in previous semesters act as facilitators
in "reflection sessions" which are conducted throughout the semester. At
these sessions students relate what they are learning what they are
learning in their community service placements to the issues we are
discussing in the classroom.
