We need to hear your input! New service-learning standards and indicators to increase the quality of service-learning were recently developed based on recent research on what works. The draft standards and indicators are going through a feedback process to revise them to be the best they can be. The process that is used to "tune" the standards and indicators is called a reactor panel, and groups of people work together to provide feedback in one of the following areas:
Meaningful service
Cognitively challenging reflection
Link to curriculum
Intensity and duration
Progress monitoring
Youth voice
Reciprocal partnerships
Diversity
The panels will take place Thursday, December 20th, 2007 during two time slots: 4:00 pm-6:00 pm EST and 6:15 pm -8:15 pm EST. The panel takes about two hours, and you will work with peers to consider and revise the standards and indicators for one of these topics. You will then share work and receive feedback on your changes from another group. We welcome and need your participation! To sign up for one of the panels, click on the link below and fill out the survey/registration form:

Please note: these reactor panels are only for youth. If you are filling out the form for one of your youth participants, please confirm that they are available and then complete the form using their information.
