Registration to join a C.O.P. opens October 10th By joining one of our new communities of practice (CoP) on Information Technology (IT) and the Community Engaged Professional (CEP), you can help to shape best practices and share ideas to support yourself and peers. These communities will be open to everyone working in the domains of community engagement and higher education, but the sponsor will cap each group’s number of participants to twelve (12) in order to keep the groups manageable and engaged. Please review the information below about these groups, then plan to come back on, or shortly after, October 10th to find details about registering for these communities (registration will close once we have reached our capacity of 36 individuals). Community A: Beginner’s level group. This community will consist of C.E.P.s that have some prior experience with collecting data (typically done through a basic survey or excel file, not a robust, relational platform) on campus-community engagement, but only at...

Registration opens October 10, 2019 OVERVIEW With the help of facilitators and mentors, participants will develop and implement an assessment plan or project that targets students’ civic learning and development (e.g., working with others, civic communication, civic identity, civic literacy or knowledge).

As S-LCE professionals, many of us are adept in navigating the complexities of working with students, community partners, and broader members of the community. Often, our work with faculty partners and academic departments can be more daunting, in large part due to a dearth of frameworks guiding this work. Building upon the presenters’ recently released edited volume, Reconceptualizing Faculty Development in Service-Learning/Community Engagement, the overarching goal of this session is for participants to analyze and situate their work with faculty partners in an array of best practices, emerging with ideas, resources, and support structures that advance S-LCE faculty development on their campuses. In this webinar, there will be a presentation with built-in opportunities for interaction. We will provide an overview of the book, and then hone in on topics most pertinent to our goals, pulling from our book chapters to offer ideas and perspectives. Through engagement in this webinar, participants will make progress toward: (1) Identifying three research-informed practices in...
