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.

CAS Leadership Council

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.
