   2.      Week 5 – Assignment       

A Strategic Plan to Involve School-Family-Community Partnerships via Service Learning

Service Learning is a term used to describe planned learning  activities in which students learn curricular lessons/materials through  school and/or community service. An example would be using math and  writing skills to plan, create, and publicize a community garden space.  The students benefit from using curricular skills to create a concrete  entity, learning valuable lessons about serving others, while the  community benefits from a new garden space. 

For this assignment:

1. Create an annotated outline that explains the steps you would take  to help students plan, create, and publicize a project benefitting the  community. 

    

2. Student academic, curricular, physical, and social development should be explicitly detailed in your outline. 

    

3. Additionally, your outline should clearly demonstrate a connection  to service learning ideas, identifying the project, how it will proceed,  and citing/referencing at least three scholarly service learning  sources in APA style. 

    

4. Finally, while there is no specified length for your outline, your  outline should fully explain what you intend to have students do and why  you intend to have them do it.
