What do we mean by “service What do we mean by “service learning”?learning”?• Service learning is a course or
competency based, credit-bearing educational experience in which studentsa) participate in mutually identified service
activities that benefit the community, and b) reflect on the service activity in such a way
as to gain further understanding of course/academic content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of personal/professional values and civic responsibility. (Bringle and Clayton, 2012, adapted from Bringle and Hatcher, 1995)

• Historic emphasis on undergraduates• Issues of language (service, community-based,
community-engaged, participatory, etc.)• Masks key curricular and faculty issues for
research universities and professions• Faculty pipeline (preparing future faculty)• Preparing future professionals, researchers and faculty for
future societal conditions and demands (includes but is not limited to labor conditions)• Social trustees of knowledge

Institutionally, how do we connect Institutionally, how do we connect connect the dots?connect the dots?
• How do we know we are doing “it” well?• What are the “its” we are trying to accomplish?• How do we know if the “it” aligns with our institutional,
departmental, organizational values related to community engagement and graduate/professional T/L?
• How do we best deploy resources of the right types to enhance/diffuse/expand/sustain instances where “it” is working?
• How can these processes be monitored at various scales at the Center or institutional level?
• How do we support critical reflection on the process and outcomes of engagement?

Most of these descriptors likely inherited from previous semesters…
We have a basic structure but…•Do faculty know about it? Do chairs and course recorders?•Do they understand the structure and what it implies?•Do they want to know…question of relevance?•Is the system flexible to allow for shifts in the deployment of specific teaching strategies?•Is there agreement on what these terms mean in practice and within departments?

Why More May Why More May NotNot Always Always Be Good….Be Good….Ever increasing numbers of students in SL may not be the best goal:– For partners – For students– For faculty/staff– For campuses/
communities
Efficient & effective must be considered in the context of workload,
roles, values and capacities for all
involved……
This question is not This question is not unique to SL as an HIP…unique to SL as an HIP…

students)?• Policy Issues and Faculty Oversight?• Best Practices?• Outcomes and Monitoring?• Impact?

SCALAR PERSPECTIVES: DepartmentalGWCHS/IUPUI Partnership -
Partial Network View…using SL Course Data
• One of IUPUI’s signature comprehensive partnerships: University-Assisted Community School model
• Institutional resources: staff, funds, scholarships• Significant community buy-in and participation:
School liaison, parent network, community advisory council

Questions Raised:•Many faculty sending their students to multiple partners…implications for practice?•How engaged are these faculty with GWCHS?•Is there a tendency toward more transactional connections working a specific levels of the curriculum? •Is the weight of student supervision falling to teachers and staff at GW? With so many students, is the load too much? •How might IUPUI and GWCHS work together to enhance scaffolding of SL at GWCHS?
