Connecting Curriculum to Community
Workshop I: Middle and High School Classrooms
“Why do we have to learn this?” This question is asked daily in countless Georgia classrooms by students who seek connections between their classroom learning and the “real world.” If you’re looking for ways to make curriculum more relevant to students, engage students in meaningful learning, and help students make a difference in their community, join us for an interactive, introductory session on service-learning. Service-Learning is a teaching and learning approach that has been documented to result in positive academic, social, civic, and skills development for young people. Well-designed service-learning experiences can also serve as a bridge between school and community as students see how they can make a difference in their communities by applying their learning to address local issues, needs, and concerns.
