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

December 8, 2017 (or when all available seats are reserved).
