classifi cation, and provides data used for reporting to

the Kansas Board of Regents and the Higher Learning

Service-Learning

An engaged pedagogy in which students learn from their direct experiences and their

refl ection on those experiences. Service-learning provides students with an opportunity

to use and apply what they are learning to a current community issue. It is a high-impact

educational practice in that an extensive body of research has been developed which indicates

that service-learning is highly eff ective and benefi cial to a range of students.
