FACULTY

Curriculum Service Learning
Curriculum ASL involves a faculty determined commitment to a community partner. Curriculum ASL is specifically tied to one or more course and general learner outcomes and is officially noted on student transcripts.

Curriculum ASL includes the following criteria:

  • Serves identified community needs
  • Facilitates understanding of course and general learner outcomes through application of material, discovery learning and tests of goodness of fit
  • Involves reflection and extraction of meaning
  • Taught by ASL approved faculty
  • Completion of 15-25 hours of service

    • ASL Faculty Approval
    Faculty desiring to use curriculum ASL as an instructional methodology must complete one of two faculty approval options. Faculty approval is a one time process. Once approved, faculty may teach ASL designated courses or may chose to use curriculum ASL in any section of a course being taught. Curriculum ASL provides students with an official ASL transcript endorsement. “See Flowchart.”
