Service-learning project plan

Service-learning is a teaching method used to connect academic material to engagement in the community, supporting Missouri State's mission in public affairs and the current long-range plan.

It is experiential learning and considered a high-impact practice – which refers to educational methods that are often associated with recruitment and retention of students. 

The project plan and plan renewal process acts as a memorandum of understanding between faculty, students and community partners to make sure there are clear paths of coordination and transparent communication.

The Integrated Service-Learning (ISL) Project Plan will need to be created for new courses that seek the ISL attribute or current courses that seek to retain the attribute.
