Service-learners are students, not volunteers.
Supervisors should keep in mind that service-learning
students have a two-fold objective for their service
experience. First, the students must perform a service
that helps meet a community need. Second, the students
incorporate that service into their course concepts in order
to further their understanding of the material.
Be selective - some students may not meet
your needs.
The final decision is yours, some students may not fit the
needs of your agency. Talk to the service-learning
staff, we may be able to find the student a more appropriate
placement.
Be an involved teacher and mentor.
Students look to their agency supervisor as their role-model
in the community. The agency supervisor is a partner
in the students' education, helping students make the
connection between abstract concepts and their actual
service.
