You will be required to participate in 15 hours of Service-Learning experience. Most of your time must be served inside a MATH classroom (or a math-based learning experience, like tutoring). The purpose of this is for you to be able to make immediate connections between what you are taught in this class, and what you will be doing in your own elementary classroom. The best way to do your 15 hours is to get a school as quickly as possible, and then go for one hour each week into your assigned classroom to observe any connections you can find to this course. A little observation each week, over a longer period of time will be more effective than waiting until the end and getting all 15 hours at once. Therefore, to encourage this, you will be required turn in your Placement Confirmation Form NO LATER THAN Friday, September 25th, so you can begin your school assignment. Two points will be deducted for each day after Sept 25th that it is late. Further details of your Service-Learning requirement will be given the first day. *See Service-Learning Requirements handout for details.
*You will need to attend a Service learning orientation (only once for all classes requiring service learning). Please bring me your proof of attendance.
