Service Learning Courses have blossomed over the last year as Casadia Community College is one of 13 colleges and universities in Washington State to receive a $10,000.00 Promising Practices Learn & Serve grant (effective 9/2007-6/2008.) In addition, we’ve been awarded an additional $4000.00, effective Feb. 9, 2008, to expand the work. The primary goal of the grant is to develop service learning courses.

Here is a short list of courses (add yours)

Human Relations

Sociology of Families

Introduction to Psychology

Math for Elementary Education

Here's a great site for ways to support quality reflection activities during service learning:

The benefits of community-based learning are well documented: collaboration among students, faculty and community provide high-quality educational experiences that apply classroom learning to genuine problems in real-world contexts and contribute meaningfully to sustainable regional development. Departments at the UW Bothell offer courses with potential community service components each quarter. This spring, relationships between local agencies and coursework in the Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences program are being facilitated by our new Community Partnership Coordinator, Michelle Cruver. Michelle is working on courses with local partners for Spring Quarter including: The Politics of Sex Education and Sociology of Sexuality, with Kari Lerum; Social Problems, with Jonathan Wender; The Seattle Region, with Sara Starkweather; Exploring American Culture: Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration, with David Goldstein and Disability and Human Rights with Kanta Kochhar-Lindgren. Check out these and other courses, as well as service learning opportunities from Nursing, Education, Environmental Science, and CUSP, and find out how to get involved with a community partner on our website.
