Quotes “By three methods we may learn: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely Experience is not what happens to a man, it is what a man does with what happened to him. We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.
Service Learning Defined… Curriculum Community
Reflection Defined The use of creative and critical thinking skills to help prepare for, succeed in, and to learn from the service experience, and to examine the larger picture and context in which the service occurs. Toole, J. & Toole, P.
Reflection Defined Reflection is a vital and ongoing process in service learning that integrates learning and experience with personal growth and awareness. Using reflection, students consider how the experience, knowledge, and skills they are acquiring relate to their own lives and their communities. Cathy Berger Kaye,

Statewide CSL Conference • Call for Presenters—Annual Statewide Service-Learning Conference—due February 11, 2011 • This year, we hope to highlight the dual theme of Healthy Schools and Healthy Communities. We will have two showcase spaces: one to highlight “green” projects, particularly our Green in the Middle and Green Team grants; one to highlight anti-bullying and school climate projects. As always, we seek a diverse mix of workshop that include skill-building sessions as well as sharing great projects and ideas. Please consider submitting a proposal to present at the conference on May 3rd at Holy Cross.
