Why: Community Engaged Courses
For students- CETL is a high impact educational practice that:
- deepens student learning
- increases the level of academic challenge
- facilitates active and collaborative learning
- increases student retention
This pedagogy is “beneficial for college students from many backgrounds, especially historically underserved students, who often do not have equitable access to high-impact learning.”(Kuh & O’Donnell, 2013)
For faculty- CETL
Teaching: improves the quality of faculty/student interaction and provides a meaningful context for faculty teaching and student learning (Kuh & O’Donnell, 2013)
Research: sparks new ideas leading to new questions and research ideas (Curry-Stevens, 2011 https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1120333.pdf, Williams & Sparks, 2011 https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1120335.pdf), creates additional publishing opportunities in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and policy publications (Schindler, 2014 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/oti.1364, Williams & Sparks, 2011), medium for addressing broader impacts for grant applications (Power, 2019) [Link to pdf in box folder]
