Following best practices for engaging students with Service Learning projects, we adhere to the IPARD Framework:
Investigation
Through research and inquiry, students and partners identify a genuine community need and its root causes.
Planning & Preparation
Based on initial research, students identify a realistic and meaningful service project with clear goals, timeline, roles, and follow-up.
Action
Project participants implement the plan through direct, indirect, or advocacy-based service. Throughout the act, participants collect evidence of their project and impact.
Refection
Through a variety of cognitively challenging activities, refection takes place at every stage of the cycle to assist in understanding the connection between what is being learned and the action taken.
Demonstration
Students showcase learning and community impact to stakeholders and supporters while making recommendations for sustainability and expansion.
