Service Resources - Faculty & Staff Resources

The Appalachian Center for Community Service is eager to assist faculty who would like to incorporate a service-learning component in their classrooms. ACCS staff members are available to consult with faculty members about possibilities for service learning -- we will share syllabi, discuss community needs and possible service placements, and answer questions about structuring the class. We also provide classroom assistance, including:

Assistance with creating developmentally appropriate service sites and student placement within these sites
Service contracts for use with site supervisors and students
Correspondence with service sites, such as letters of introduction and quick response to situations that need attention
Midterm and end-of-semester evaluation and assessment instruments for service sites and students
Accounting procedures and weekly progress reports that document students' progress toward fulfillment of the service requirement
Tools and techniques for facilitating reflection sessions in the classroom
Staff help with designing and/or leading reflection sessions

Below are some other resources for service-learning information:

Campus Compact
Campus Compact is a national coalition of college and university presidents committed to the civic purposes of higher education. Campus Compact keeps a bank of service-learning syllabi for a variety of academic disciplines.

Just Connections
Just Connections invigorates grassroots democracy among residents of distressed mountain communities by creating and using models for participatory research and service. On this site you'll find syllabi, library sources, and other helpful links.
