Service Learning 101 Online Learning Institute

“The platform was very well designed, it was clear for me to understand and be able to learn”

“I found the platform easy to navigate and it helped me keep track of my asynchronous learning. It provided great flexibility to work around other commitments also.”

“This course was a great way to introduce SL and Sustainability to newcomers who are looking to get something going in their schools. The suggestions for implementation were realistic and manageable for someone new to the role. Good resources were supplied, and participants were told how and where to find further resources.”

“Tara was very responsive to questions and provided plenty of personalized feedback. Thank you!” “I am very grateful to Tara for creating such a nice atmosphere during the online learning, she was resourceful and is insightful.”

“I truly appreciated the passion of Tara and Laurence. They were also a fun team together, humor is valued especially during a pandemic.”

“This workshop was an amazing use of my time. It provided me with insight on how to implement Service-Learning and adopt that ideology. I enjoyed the mix between synchronous and asynchronous communication. It was also very exciting to meet colleagues from all over the world Literally 🙂 The workshop is intense (2 online meetings per day), contributing to a workbook and sharing thoughts and ideas on the academy forum, but that is how we learn. All these interactions and collaborations left me inspired and fired to do more at my school. Many take away tools & ideas including the Compass Method, the different approaches of service-learning, Interconnected SDGs, Backward design, and many more concepts. I appreciated the follow-up & encouragement as I felt overwhelmed at some point. Thank you, Tara 🙂 The online meetings were fun and friendly since we were all meeting virtually in our living rooms, kitchens, etc,. I highly recommend taking this workshop to any teacher, CAS Coordinators, Principals, basically any passionate educator and definitely to Service-Learning Coordinators. Thank you!”

“The course provided me with the momentum, insight and resources I needed to take action on incorporating SL not only into my own courses, but schoolwide. The instructors are very knowledgeable and eager to help. They pushed my thinking and posed great questions to consider as I continue this journey. I walked away with a wealth of ideas, resources and created a full SL unit that's ready to be implemented in the fall! All in all, it was a very worthwhile 5-days if you are trying to improve your personal teaching practice and improve your school's capacity to deliver a 21st-century educational program.”
