Community Based Learning: Challenges and Opportunities Panel
During this workshop we invite a panel of faculty, community partners, and CECiL team members to share their experience in designing, facilitating, and partnering on community based learning (CBL) courses! Topics discussed will include getting started with CBL, working with partners/working with Mason, learning outcome design, ethical considerations, and reflection. The CECiL team will also share resources the office can provide to facilitate CBL experiences at Mason and in the community. Any faculty or graduate students preparing to teach CBL in all modalities are invited to learn more about best practices and share experiences. Attendees will walk away equipped with new knowledge about CBL pedagogy, resources for getting started, and access to a network of peers interested in this teaching style.
