Service-Learning Forms

The following service-learning forms are available for use by service-learning faculty, students, and community agency partners, to facilitate preparation and evaluation.


Service-Learning Agreement

Service Learning Agreement (PDF)

Purpose:

  • To clarify expectations for all participants
  • To define and share learning objectives
  • To keep a record of students involved in service-learning
  • To facilitate communications with community partners
  • To promote safety and reduce risk

Procedure:

  • Complete the Instructor section at the bottom of the Agreement.
  • Then, copy BOTH SIDES of the agreement to give to students.
  • Work with your students to fill in the learning goals for the service experience. Site coordinators appreciate this information, as it helps them place students.
  • Have students read both sides of the Service-Learning Agreement in class, and go over the requirements with them. This is crucial for risk management.
  • Ask the students to take the Agreement to the site and return the signed form to you, preferably by two weeks after the start of the quarter. (Note: Some sites will not accept service-learning students after the second week of the quarter.)
  • Ask agency coordinators to work with the students to fill in the service goals. If possible, agencies should make copies to keep on site.
  • Keep completed Agreements for at least two terms beyond the course.

Evaluation by Agencies

Evaluation by Agencies (PDF)

Purpose:

  • To account for students' successful completion of service assignments
  • To offer agency input in the service-learning partnership
  • To provide faculty and students with feedback on their service

Procedure:

  • Complete the Instructor section, including the due date (so that you will receive the form back before the end of the quarter).
  • Copy the form (or a modified one of your own) for students to take to their supervisors.
  • Be sure that students ask their supervisors to complete the evaluation form before the end of the term.

Evaluation by Students

Evaluation by Students (PDF)

Purpose:

  • To evaluate and improve course reflection activities that connect service with learning

Procedure:

  • Students complete the evaluation forms in class at the end of the quarter.
