CSL preparation

Thanks to everyone who has started thinking about and working on Community Service Learning. This is an important part of the CIS2 course, and the DeAnza student experience.

There are several parts to this so that you, your community partner, your classmates and I all have visibility into your project and your progress. That's the learning part.
  • Community service learning student guidelines file - link to a page of information and instructions that resides in the WikiEducator wiki. Because this is publicly available, it is easy for our community partners to access the information as well.

  • Community Service Learning discussion Forum - a separate discussion forum for questions and comments specific to the community service learning projects

  • Project selection -- pick a project Choice - please indicate which project you will be working on. This helps with planning and notifying community partners about volunteers to expect.

  • Community service learning proposal - an assignment to collect information about your selected community service project, partner information, and an overview of what you will be doing. When you have answered all these questions, you should have a work plan for your community service learning project.
Community service learning is an important project. It should be interesting as well. Think about how you can provide the most benefit to your partner organization as well as your personal learning. Enjoy.
