Description: Leveraging for Learning: Best Practices explores what it means to be a co-educator as you support our students in community-based learning experiences like academic internships and service-learning. While students are engaging with you and your organization through their community-based learning experience, we know that they are bringing those incredible experiences back into the class. You can play a huge role in helping students engage their course material and deepen not only their learning, but the quality of work they are doing with you. This workshop will provide examples of sustainable practices to support student’s learning, recognize your essential role as co-educators, and also promote their success in professional environments.
