Publisher's Synopsis
Experiential Civic Learning-Construction of Models & Assessment is a compact but all-inclusive essential resource guide for faculty, departments, and administrators who wish to partake in this curricula initiative and address the challenge of producing a more skilled, ethical, and civically engaged student citizen. This book provides the background literature, rationale, practicalities, guidance, and new resources for all the phases of this learning initiative: the different modalities of experiential learning; funding and grants; considerations, construction and implementation of a single and departmental civic engagement series of courses; new rubrics to create a formal/direct and informal/indirect assessment plan; relating scores to grades; closing the learning-assessment loop.
