Workshop 2- Enhancing Learning Through Service: Syllabus Design
What this session covers:
A practical, hands‑on session focused on designing a syllabus that meaningfully integrates service‑learning (SL). Faculty will explore ways to connect SL activities to course outcomes, build reflection into assignments, and scaffold student learning before, during, and after service experiences. The session highlights light‑lift strategies that strengthen learning without requiring a full course redesign.
You will leave with:
- A clear understanding of how SL aligns with course outcomes and assessment
- A draft syllabus language section that explains SL expectations to students
- A menu of assignment ideas (reflection prompts, pre‑work, post‑work, mini‑projects)
- A plan for how your course can connect to UNI’s Day of Service
