Full or part-time faculty chosen to participate in this community will receive either a $2,000 course development award for integrating service learning into a course that has not had a service learning component, or a $1,500 award for significantly enhancing the service learning/community-based research component of one of their existing service learning courses. Faculty will be required to participate in five SOE meetings throughout the semester including a two-day faculty workshop and community bus trip in May.
The goals of the Scholarship of Engagement Faculty Learning Community are to:
1.) Create a community of support and passion among faculty using service learning and/or community-based research in their courses. Faculty will work together to brainstorm, problem solve, and integrate service learning into their courses.
2.) Improve the quality and quantity of service learning courses at Marquette, by being intentional about the use of critical reflection, assessment, clear learning objectives, and strong mutually beneficial partnerships.
3.) Support the integration of community-based research as a model of service learning at Marquette, which is currently under utilized.
Criteria:
- Faculty must be teaching the proposed course either in the Fall of 2010 and/or in the Spring 2011. Preference will be given to faculty who will teach the course annually or bi-annually. This opportunity is open to all full and part-time faculty members.
- Faculty must commit to participate in at least five out of the six learning community meetings. Dates include:
