Dear SDOH colleagues,

Applications are due Friday, April 7 for Community-Campus Partnerships
for Health 9th Summer Service-Learning Institute, July 21-24, 2006, in the 
Cascade Mountains of Washington State. See details below or on our website at 
http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/servicelearning.html

Service-learning is a structured learning experience that combines community
service with preparation and reflection. Students engaged in service-learning
provide community service in response to community-identified concerns and 
learn about the context in which service is provided, the connection between 
their service and their academic coursework, and their civic roles. 
Service-learning helps to equip future health professionals with the 
community-oriented competencies and commitment to civic engagement they will 
need to be effective as practitioners and community leaders.

The institute has tracks for both novice and experienced service-learning 
practitioners.  To facilitate meaningful learning, the institute is limited to 
22 participants.

During intensive interactive workshops and small group sessions, participants 
learn about these topics and more:

* Curricular models of service-learning in a variety of health professions 
disciplines, including interdisciplinary models
* Strategies for developing service-learning courses and programs, promoting 
reflection, building community-campus partnerships and assessing 
service-learning outcomes
* Strategies for institutionalizing service-learning into the health 
professions curriculum
* Core leadership skills and competencies needed to sustain service-learning 
partnerships
* Methods and models for supporting faculty, staff and community partner 
development in service-learning
* Effective methods for assessing service-learning outcomes for faculty, 
student, community, and institutional stakeholders
* Strategies for developing service-learning scholarship, and documenting that 
scholarship for promotion and tenure

The institute curriculum combines experiential and didactic approaches to 
teaching and learning. A unique and effective aspect of the institute's 
approach is inclusion of a mentoring model in which participants work in small 
groups and as individuals with mentors to further shape their own action plans 
for developing and sustaining service-learning courses and programs. A 
peer-reviewed paper on the institute's proven success in fostering curricular 
change is available at
