This webinar will focus on three practices that facilitate achievement of high-impact, community-engaged learning (service-learning): Reciprocity, Context and Culture, and Communication.  

Participants will develop a deeper understanding of cultivating reciprocal relationships between faculty and community partners, educating students about context, and using a project management approach for effective communication. There will be opportunities to pair each practice with the processes needed for implementation. Examples will be drawn from Community-Engaged Learning courses and a Core course called Resilient Children, Engaged Communities.
