For
over
twenty years, I have developed and implemented
programs and materials designed to assist schools
improve the quality of education through service
learning. Administrators and teachers want to
know how service learning works to achieve their
identified content and skill objectives. Young
people want their efforts to have meaning and
purpose, and they are eager to learn about their
diverse world. Critical to successful programs
is making plans that reflect the school mission
and improvement strategies, as well as establishing
partnerships with parents and community agencies.
In
colleges and universities, faculty in schools
of education as well as in other disciplines
are exploring the value of service learning.
This has been another arena where I continuously
examine ways to infuse service learning into
meaningful educational opportunities. Through
staff development, state-wide and national institutes
and conferences, and as mentor for specific
programs, I enjoy the creative thinking and
development achieved in schools of higher education.
In
all workshops settings, service learning links
to literature and current issues relevant to
local educational concerns are addressed. Whether
delivering a keynote, meeting with small groups
of teachers to develop specific curriculum approaches,
or presenting to a gathering of faculty members,
students or parents, my style is personal, interactive
and custom designed to meet your needs.
