School Improvement through Service-Learning
Service-Learning Australia offers half and one day hands on workshops on how to improve schools through the introduction of a comprehensive service-learning program. Anyone with a stake in the educational and social futures of children and a healthy curiosity about service-learning is encouraged to become involved. A one day workshop covers the following topics using a relaxed hands-on approach involving lively, productive discussion, both collectively and in collegial groups, leading to ownership of positive outcomes.
What is Service-Learning? Examples of service-learning in action. Why should every student in Australia be involved in service-learning? How does service-learning enhance and strengthen pedagogical practices? Why is parent and citizen involvement important to service-learning? What practical and relevant resources are already available? What happens next?
One day workshops are usually facilitated by school support groups and Service-Learning Australia.
