“The Pink Octopus in the Room: Embracing the Many Tentacles of Service-Learning”

While there are times that as teachers, we feel trapped by having to teach to the standards or our drive to meet Promotion and Tenure guidelines seem to cloud what we know can be positive learning experiences for the students, there comes a time where we must embrace the many positive aspects that service-learning can provide. This presentation will describe a multifaceted approach to using service-learning to enhance the classroom experience for both public school teachers and University faculty. Components of study abroad, service-learning, creative inquiry, promotion and tenure and University/public school partnership will be discussed.

Presenters:

Skye Arthur-Banning, Ph.D. teaches Community Sport Management at Clemson University.  He has worked on various programming and sportsmanship initiatives, teaches about positive youth development, Outcome Based Management and Programming in community recreation programs, offers seminars for parents and coaches on ethical behavior in sport and focuses on reducing obesity through increased sport participation. In addition, Dr. Arthur-Banning has coordinated multiple study abroad experiences that involved service-learning components such as volunteering at the Olympics games or service learning trips to Tanzania to work in Orphanages and afterschool programs.
Brandi M. Crowe, M.S., CTRS is a doctoral student in the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management at Clemson University. Her current research interests include therapeutic recreation, adapted sports, and stress/coping processes.
