Service Learning: From Learning Civics to Action Civics (Session 1)

This workshop will prepare participants to identify, analyze, and reflect upon the new civics law and the requirement for service learning. They will also develop an understanding of service learning activities that will include students in civic participation, recognized as one of the best practices for civics education. Additionally, the workshop will provide participants the opportunity to implement service learning in their classroom. They will use the civics learning components of the Illinois School Code, specifically service learning, in conjunction with the Illinois Social Science Standards (ISSS) to examine resources and to implement this component of the new civics requirement.

When all requirements are met for completion of this workshop, participants will receive 20 professional development hours.
