Democratic Principles and Group Process
Our curriculum is an intentional combination of democratic classroom principles; leadership content including privilege, cultural competency; and group dynamic exercises meant to enhance trust and engagement within the group. The curriculum includes anything from videos and readings on cultural differences, to guest speakers from the community, to group projects developing service opportunities, to team building activities on social issues. Above all, the curriculum is responsive, taking into account the insight of our student led Service-Learning Executive Board and the feedback of students themselves.
