In support of the implementation of the QEP, the Center for Community Service Initiatives is making various books on experiential learning available to the campus. Experiential Learning Coordinator Liz James has picked out three books covering the broader area of experiential education and six of the service-learning books in the CCSI Library.
EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION: Experiential Learning (Kolb, 1984); Experiential Learning: A Handbook for Education, Training, and Coaching (Beard & Wilson, 2002); and Strengthening Experiential Education: A New Era (Hesser, 2014).
SERVICE-LEARNING: International Service-Learning: Conceptual Frameworks and Research (Bringle et al., 2011); Learning Through Serving: A Student Guidebook for Service-Learning and Civic Engagement across Academic Disciplines and Cultural Communities (Cress et al., 2013); Service-Learning Essentials: Questions, Answers, and Lessons Learned (Jacoby, 2014); Service-Learning in Higher Education: Critical Issues and Directions (Butin, 2005); The Unheard Voices: Community Organizations and Service Learning (Stoecker & Tryon, 2009); and Where’s the Learning in Service-Learning? (Eyler & Giles, 1999).
Those and similar books may be borrowed for short periods from the CCSI Library in Adrian 208. For further information, contact James at ljames@barry.edu or 305-899-3728.
Barry’s QEP focuses on personal and social responsibility (PSR) pursued through experiential learning in the classroom, laboratories, and elsewhere on campus as well as in the wider community.
