Finding the following list of questions embedded in the article "Bringing Student Engagement Through the Classroom Door" in Education Canada Vol 48 no4 by Jodene Dunleavy made my heart sing.
I believe the Hope-Focused Service-Learning project addresses these questions. Take a look ~
Does the work they are asked to do matter to them?
Does it connect to the lives they are living now and the ones they look forward to in the future?
Do they feel the work has value to them beyond achieving success at school?
Do they have opportunities to engage with the ideas of the disciplines they are studying in ways that allow them to develop a deep understanding of complex interrelated concepts and a chance t build 'new to them' ideas or knowledge in a community of learners?
Do they have a sense of ownership and responsibility for their learning, a role to play in co-designing and assessing how and what they learn?
Are they challenged in their learning and supported through relationships that encourage them to take risk, ask questions, make mistakes, and discuss how they feel about learning?
What do you think?
