Thoughts:
1. Have to change where I place the whole service learning project. I have to have it all up front when they are engaged in it and into it. Once they are in the field, all they want is lesson planning, methods and strategies. They do not want service learning.
2. I do need to create it as choice. I think a good option, that would meet the same need, is to create a portfolio of community partners for them in a particular topic...and perhaps even in the broad range of their topic. They would have to make the contacts and see if this is a viable choice. They would have to fill out a sheet to that they check off to see if the place is a good community partner.

IRB done and handed in for review...cannot imagine how many Marc has to read?
Here it is, my IRB agreement thus far...
Here is my survey: pre and post are identical...
I used a lot of materials from the FLC and the coordinator. I am not great at creating instruments, and these were fantastic...in comparison! I am excited.
I still need to boost up my citations etc...but I actually feel like I might just do some research that leads to a pub, and this is exciting, since I have not engaged in that process since I got to SSU...and it was such a big part of my past positions. It is exciting also as I am getting closer to the land of going up for promotion and tenure. Boy would it feel good to have some publications!
I do have to say that this whole FLC thing is fantastic for me. I am having the opportunity to be part of a community that really is helping me shape my teaching as well as my research, in a field I feel passionate about. It is also motivating me with the deadlines, like this IRB one, to be on top of it! I just would never get around to this, and finally I am, YAY. I am beyond grateful to have gotten involved with this and am sad this is the last year. I am meeting folks from around campus, which is awesome, and I feel like I am more part of this whole SSU community.
