KIDS Consortium offers training

You’ve either had your students involved in service learning or you’ve heard about it. The Obama administration has promoted reaching out and becoming involved in your community, giving of yourself to help make the world a better place.

The KIDS Consortium is offering a summer service learning institute for educators. Arts educators for years have had students involved in service learning, we just never called it that. Here is an opportunity to take the community involvement you do to another level. There are funds available for service learning projects. This learning opportunity will include the opportunity for you to learn more about some of the funds that are available for service learning.

Heres the details:

• August 11-14, 2009, Hilton Garden Inn Riverwatch, Auburn
• Practical, hands-on course designed to help K-12 educators create standards based units with authentic application for students
• Earn 2 or 3 graduate credits (optional) through Salem State College/Northeast Consortium. Reasonable rates!
• The unit you create will be ready for school in September
• Scholarships available
• Registration fee: $500 which includes 4 days of instruction, KIDS as Planners Guidebook, resources and strategies for designing, implementing, and assessing quality service-learning projects, breakfast and lunch
