A Note about "Service Learning" in Experiential Education
Over the course of the last 30 years, experiential education practices in higher education have shifted from an emphasis on service-learning pedagogy to include a wide array of experiences and to embrace broader goals around civic learning, democratic engagement, and robust social change. Because of this history, throughout these resources you will see the term “service-learning” utilized; however, these resources are useful no matter the type of experiential education you may be designing.
