Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that service learning has a positive effect on students' ability to apply what they have learned in the "real world." (Miller, 1994). In Public Relations Studies, we wanted to substantiate that the involvement of a community service provider in the evaluation phase is a critical component to the SoTL approach. This interactive session is designed for faculty who believe service learning is a manifestation of these curricular connections. The discussion offers practical strategies for documenting student learning, and confirming the validity of an assessment approach through collaboration with a thirdparty service provider. We will look at three key goals and explore the CSLA ApproachÓ, a rubric for identifying community service organizations that provide a rich service opportunity.
