What to do (and what not to do) on a service learning project

Vanessa Ehler

Vanessa, a teacher from Brooklyn Friends School, shares about her experience with global service learning projects. She reflects on her experience with Nobis World in the Dominican Republic on the Wandering Educators blog. She shares that on the Nobis World program:

...we studied Nobis World's Global Service Learning Model. This model walked us through each crucial step toward a reciprocal and meaningful connecting with another community. We learned, eventually, that this connection with the community is the most important piece of Service Learning.
