Community Engaged Learning
Field-based applied learning with community partners is an instructional strategy to engage students directly with issues they are studying in order to analyze and seek solutions to concrete, real-world problems which also is good preparation for citizenship, work and life. Key to realizing these desired outcomes is structured reflection about how classroom learning informs community practice and vice-versa.
