Four faculty members plus Mary P. met in the CTL on Thursday afternoon to discuss current service learning projects. Each faculty member shared their syllabus and demonstrated how the service learning component fit in with their learning objectives for the course. It was a very impressive demonstration of the teaching excellence and dedication at BCC! Projects ranged from a community theme, to an immigrant project, to exploring inequality in society. Faculty report that there has been an enthusiastic response by students to the SL option – even from non-trads who have intense work-life balance issues. Stay tuned for more on how these projects progress through the semester. And kudos to Mary and Deirdre, who is tireless in making this all happen, with student stipends offered, and has devised a system (inc. Blackboard) for keeping everyone in touch and on track.
