The theme will unify the teaching of content and skills throughout the course. The service project is developed in collaboration with students, teachers, and community partners in response to a need identified by the partner in the community. The program seeks to provide ongoing assistance to meet the need during the course and is continued by students in subsequent classes. Students prepare for service through reading, discussion, presentations by speakers, simulation activities, and planning with staff of our partner, a school for students with severe physical and mental challenges.
Students participate in ongoing reflection through discussion and writing.
They also create a final project display and write letters to their partners in the special schools.
