Documents and Training Tools from the 2010 Service-Learning for Leaders Course.
Overview:
Service-Learning for Leaders is an elective course in the CalState East Bay Educational Leadership program. The class enrolls two cohorts of students- people working on their administrative credential and masters in educational leadership and people interested in expanding their capacity to support the expansion of service-learning. The class helps future administrators investigate ways that service-learning can support school-wide reform efforts. It also trains service-learning leaders to deliver staff development and provide coaching support to new practitioners. Enrollees in the class include teachers, non-profit staff, service-learning coordinators and seasoned administrators.
