Service-Learning: "Brilliance Entertained."
Lindsey, Alvin K.
In an effort to translate their students' inert, classroom learning into action aimed at generating a common good, a quest for citizenship, a paradigm of morality, Morris Brown College (Georgia) instituted a service learning program. One of the program's goals is to strengthen the connection between African-American institutions of higher learning and the communities in which they are located. Teachers are required to move from routine, simplistic teaching methods to that of mastery, illustrated in the application of theoretical concepts leading to the actualization of tangible results. This monograph describes the college's Reclaiming Our Community (ROC) program in photographs and text organized into sections on the planning stage, the implementation stage, the evaluation stage, and recognition. The project has included a Community Service Fair where students, faculty, and non-profit representatives discuss solving the nation's and their community's problems. The booklet includes the program's procedures for implementing volunteer student and community agency programs; Community Service-Learning Post-Assessment forms; the form for evaluating students; and the form for student use in evaluating the program.
