Imagine the difference in the Las Vegas comnnunity, when you become a part of it!
Teachers make our community better...
outside the classroom too!
Whether seeking employment with a local education agency,
applying for an education scholarship, or writing a proposal for
grant funding, it is important that an applicant show a genuine
commitment to their community.
The Service Learning component of your CSN introductory
class gives you the opportunity to build upon your existing
community service commitment, or set the foundation for
many future years of community involvement and service to
others. As a matter of fact, statistics show that most
teachers began thinking about education as a career after
volunteering in some capacity with local schools, religious
groups, or community organizations.
Your 10 hour Service Learning will be an additional
component that stands alongside your 10 hour CSN Field
Observation requirements for EDU 2 0 1 , 2 0 2 , or 2D3.

How it works... On the next page, you will read about

approved ways to satisfy the Service Learning component of
your introductory class. These suggestions can be used alone,
or in combination, to arrive at the minimum 10 hour Service
Learning requirement. All students must complete the
required 10 hour Service Learning component, AND the
required 1 hour Field Observation component in order for
your instructor to record a final grade for you in the class.
Use the Service Learning Preapproval form [page 4) to plan
for and get approval for your project. Use the Service
Learning Log (page 3] to document your hours of service,
along with any supporting material required within each
suggestion on (page 2]. Your instructor will provide you with
more information about how they will want these documents
submitted, and their specific due dates during the semester.
