We are doing some (late) spring cleaning to the Mentor Commons. Removing the oldest programs as we continue to add new ones. This 20-Minute Mentor is from 2010, so while the technology looks a little dated, the content remains highly relevant. We’ll continue to add more programs that we’re retiring from video library throughout the next few months.
If you’re looking for guidance on integrating service-learning into a new or existing course, you will find it in this 20-Minute Mentor from Magna Publications.
Led by Barbara Jacoby, PhD, Faculty Associate for Leadership and Community Service-Learning at the University of Maryland, College Park, this program outlines the benefits of service-learning, how you can incorporate a service-learning component to your course, and how to manage the operational details.
