What is Academic Service Learning?

Academic service learning is a teaching method that extends beyond the boundaries of the traditional classroom by engaging students in service directly with and in God's diverse and interconnected world. The pedagogy of academic service learning involves four phases: preparation, action, reflection, and celebration. Through these processes, partnerships evolve and are nurtured between the community and students as they work together to determine both the assets and needs of the community. This allows more than a mere give and take experience, as the community and students walk side by side; journeying together in service and learning with each other.
