Three Components of Service Learning at C.O.D.

The three components of successful service learning are Preparation, Action and Reflection. These three actions fuse together classroom and hands-on learning in such a way that students often will experience an “aha” moment. 

Components

1. Preparation.
Includes setting objectives for the skills to be learned, including planning the projects and preparing to enter the community.
2. Action.
Completing the service work that is required to complete the stated goal.
3. Reflection.
Taking time after the service work is completed to actively think about the experience in terms of personal insights, as well as the relationship between the work completed to the achievement of academic objectives.
