2.2 - Comparing Models of Student Driven Community Service

From KNILT

Objective

When presented with various models, the learner will identify the key steps that must be included in every model of student driven community service.


Activity

Below, you will find several models of student driven community service. Each model lists the key steps that are included in the process of implementing a project. As you read through each model, make notes of the key steps and the components of each step in your Learning Journal. In addition, write notes about any features that you like or do not like about each model. Title each entry (Name of Model) Notes. For example, the notes for the EarthForce Model would be titled Earth Force Model Notes.

Earth Force Model

Idaho State Department of Education Model

Youth Service America Model

RMC Research Council Model

Assignment

Now that you have reviewed several different models of student driven community service, make a list in your Learning Journal of the common steps included in all of the models. Keep in mind that while steps may have different "names", they overall concept of the step may still be the same. Title this entry Models: Common Steps.
