Service Learningundefined
"Service-learning is the various pedagogies that link community service and academic study so that each strengthens the other. The basic theory of service-learning is Dewey's: the interaction of knowledge and skills with experience is key to learning. Students learn best not by reading the Great Books in a closed room but by opening the doors and windows of experience. Learning starts with a problem and continues with the application of increasingly complex ideas and increasingly sophisticated skills to increasingly complicated problems." (Thomas Ehrlich, in: Barbara Jacoby and Associates. Service-Learning in Higher Education: Concepts and Practices.  San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass 1996.)

Brown Bag Lunch March 6, 2007

We hosted a Brown Bag Lunch at the Lisle campus on March 6, 2007.  Students and faculty gathered to learn more about service learning inclusion. undefined Dr. Antonina Lukenchuk and her students highlighted aspects of their research.  All left with a better understanding of the power pedagogy of Service Learning.
