Workshop Three
Service-Learning Course Creation Workshop
NOTE: THIS WORKSHOP IS FULL
Workshop Leader: Dr. Edward Zlotkowski
Workshop Description: In this workshop we will begin by briefly exploring some of the concepts and distinctions that make service-learning an especially effective teaching and learning strategy. We will then provide an opportunity for faculty to consider the kinds of concrete changes and adjustments they would need to make were they to convert one of their standard courses into a course with a service-learning dimension.Dr. Edward Zlotkowski Biography: Edward Zlotkowski is a professor of English at Bentley College where in 1990 he founded the Bentley Service-Learning Center.
