nonprofit organization Providing feedback to the organization (oral
debriefing, written report, data collection) that will be helpful to the organization – called closing the loop
Self-reflection on that service

Service Learning Credit Contract
Students submit a Service Learning Credit Contract (a petition form) to Laura after the project is completed. It must be part of a course (can be a required or an elective project).
The form describes the project, and the faculty member of the course signs the petition verifying the nature of the project and its completion.

A BCOEService-Learning example
When our teacher candidates volunteer for the non-profit organization Junior Achievement (JA)
to teach JA modular lessons in a classroom, and then reflect on the experience, the candidates benefit both themselves and JA,
thus the loop is closed.
