The Office of Service Learning provides several services to faculty to help them begin or improve service-learning courses.
One-on-one consultations
CSL staff are available to meet with individual faculty members and academic staff to discuss how to get started with service learning, how to identify and work with community partners, how to assess student learning, how to frame and evaluate student reflection, how to highlight service learning for promotion and tenure, and many other topics.
University-wide workshops
CSL staff conducts regular workshops that are open to the entire IUPUI community. Workshop topics include Introduction to Service Learning, Using and Evaluating Reflection, Assessing Service Learning, Service Learning as Scholarship, International Service Learning, and Developing and Sustaining Community Partnerships.
Department and School workshops
CSL can design workshops specifically for your department or school. Research suggests that the impact of service-learning on students is stronger when it is integrated in meaningful ways across a student’s major discipline courses. CSL staff can also help you identify external experts in your discipline to conduct workshops for departmental or school faculty.
