Drexel University's Community-Based Learning Workshop - January 15-17

[Announcement from he-sl listserv]

Hello Friends and Colleagues,

We still have a few spots remaining in Drexel University’s intensive, three-day Community-based learning (CBL) workshop held in Philadelphia, PA on January 15-17, 2018.

The workshop will be held at Drexel University’s Lindy Center for Civic Engagement on days one and three. Sessions will include foundations and framework for community-based learning and partnerships. Students, faculty and community partners will offer hands-on advice and mentorship to guide a meaningful CBL course. Day two will be facilitated by the Think Tank members within Graterford Correctional Institution and will include active learning pedagogy and rich discussion of “embracing discomfort” within a CBL course. At the conclusion of the workshop, faculty will have a solid foundation in which to begin designing their course.

Through this training faculty will:
·         Explore the movement and experience of civic engagement in higher education, including Drexel’s unique Side-by-Side course format
·         Experience and reflect upon discomfort within an academic setting while at Graterford Correctional Facility
·         Experience active learning techniques and pedagogies
·         Begin to develop or further refine a community-based learning course
·         Access support and resources pre and post workshop via an online learning environment

Only a few spaces remain and we anticipate the workshop to fill completely.  Please use the following link to register: click here. Registration closes Friday, December 8, 2017 (or when all available seats are reserved).

For questions or additional information, please contact Dr. Jennifer Johnson Kebea, executive director of the Lindy Center for Civic Engagement at 215.895.2097 or jjk@drexel.edu.

We hope that you will join us!
