Reflection

I won’t forget what Professor Morin would

write on journals,

“Research shows that REFLECTION is an

important part of the learning process.”

I will keep that in mind by always giving my

future students an opportunity to reflect.

Reflection is the Key To Learning

● Journals

● Multi-media Projects on Pathbrite

(photos, videos, PPT Template)

● Final Reflection Paper on Pathbrite

All groups share at the end of the

semester!

Letters of Advice

I learned that it is good to get myself out there

when it comes to volunteering. I really enjoyed it

and it is something I want to continue...

By participating in a service-learning course, you

will become more outgoing and develop

relationships with awesome people you would

never have met before.
