Learning Conference registration
Georgia Learn and
Serve in partnership with Valdosta State University is sponsoring a conference
on academic service learning for Georgia Schools in Valdosta on January 14,
2005. This conference will be held at Valdosta High School's Fine Arts Center at
3101 N. Forrest Street Valdosta, GA 31602. The theme for this year's conference
is a "Blast from the Past: Civics, Citizenship & Service".
Service learning is a teaching methodology that enriches learning by engaging
students in meaningful service to their schools and communities that focuses on
academic curricula. Service learning:
• Fosters student
ownership of the learning
• Meets a school or community need
• Connects to the academic curriculum
• Encourages student reflection
Since serving learning can be implemented in all academic areas, with students
of all ages, in single classroom or whole schools, conference presentations are
sought in a wide spectrum which includes all academic areas including language
arts, science, social studies, and mathematics, elementary, middle, and high
schools, alternative education programs, and all federal programs. This
conference is for classroom teachers, curriculum specialists, principals,
curriculum directors, superintendents, Title I directors, RESA personnel,
community-based organizations, business partners, school board members, and
teacher/administrator preparation programs.
Through grant funds from Georgia Learn and Serve the conference registration and
lunch-to-go will be provided free of charge for the first 200 participants to
register."
