What is Service Learning? |
|
|
|
Service Learning is school-based participation in
organized service projects that meet real needs in the
community. You must complete the Baltimore County
Service Learning program to graduate from high school. |
|
|
|
Service Learning projects
must include preparation, action, and reflection. |
|
|
|
Preparation
is the first step of service learning in which students
work with their teachers and community members to:
-
Identify issues affecting the community: i.e.
homelessness, environment, senior citizens, etc.
-
Select project site and type of action.
-
Plan
service learning reflection.
-
Explore
the concept of citizenship.
|
|
|
|
Action
is the next step of service learning in which students
carry out their service. |
|
|
|
Reflection
is the final step of service learning in which students
look back on the project and review what they have
learned. Reflection may be done individually (journal
or scrapbook) or as a group (class discussion or video
of the project). |
|
|
|
|
|
HOW DO I COMPLETE MY SERVICE LEARNING? |
|
|
|
1.
Hours are earned through project completed in the
classroom. Most projects earn 10 service learning
credits. These hours will be recorded on the fourth
quarter report card. |
|
|
|
2.
Hours can be earned through independent service
learning projects, which meet a need in the community.
Examples of projects include: reading to Kindergarten
students or arts & crafts projects with residents of a
nursing facility. |
|
|
|
All independent service learning projects
must be approved by the Service Learning Coordinator in
your school BEFORE beginning the service. |
|
|
|
Can Awards be earned for independent service? |
|
|
|
Meritorious Service Awards can be earned for outstanding
independent service learning projects. Talk to your
service learning coordinator for more information. |
|
|
|
If you have any questions or would like more
information, please talk to the Service Learning
Coordinator,
