A few thoughts about
CAS
August 1, 2012ISS
Three Principles of service-learning by Robert Sigmun (1979)1.Those being served control the services
provided.
2.Those being served become better able to serve
and be served by their own actions.
3.Those who serve are also learners and have
significant control over what is expected to be
learned.

Structured Reflection
A mirror bends back light, making visible what is apparent to others, but a mystery to us -- namely, what our faces look like.
In service learning, we look to develop processes that allow students to bend the metaphorical light of their experiences back onto their minds.
Reflection serves as the bridge between experiences and learning.
