What is Service Learning?
Grade Level: 11th & 12 grade Length: full year Requirement: Excellent Attendance Record Credits: 10 (2 class periods) Course Description: Service Learning is a class at Glenwood Springs High School where juniors and seniors "serve" in the local elementary schools. Service Learners support the education of younger students by reading with them, teaching them math skills, and performing a variety of other duties. Service Learners will spend over seven hours each week volunteering at Sopris Elementary, Glenwood Springs Elementary, and St. Stephens Catholic School for 1-1/2 hours daily. Some student are considering teaching as a future career; others just enjoy working with children, helping their community and view Service Learning as a great way to incorporate volunteer work into their high school career. |
