Hello Friends and Colleagues,
I am writing to invite you and
your faculty to Drexel University’s intensive, three-day community-based learning (CBL) workshop held in Philadelphia, PA on October
10 - 12, 2016.
The workshop will be held at
Drexel University’s Dornsife Extension Center 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 courses
·
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
·
Receive a professional certificate of training completion.
Only a few spaces remain
and we anticipate the workshop to fill completely. Please use the

For questions or additional
information, please contact Cyndi Rickards (Senior Assistant Dean,
Community Engagement, Drexel College of Arts and Sciences) at crr46@drexel.edu.
