Designing Guided Reflection Assignments through Articulated Learning

Presenters: Lina Dostilio (Office of Service Learning) and Steve Hansen (Center for Teaching Excellence)

Time: 3:00 – 4:30 pm
Location: 608 Union

Faculty frequently bemoan the quality of student reflections on service-learning experiences. There is an art to crafting a reflection assignment that helps students to make key connections to course materials, social issues and personal development.  In this workshop, we will explore how to design reflective assignments that help students articulate what they are learning on multiple levels.  Participants will leave the workshop with examples of reflective assignments, an understanding of articulated learning, and the ability to help students comprehensively reflect on their service-learning experience.
