Service-Learning Australia

Stage 2: Planning and Preparation
  • Needs identification and assessment:  Teachers, students, and those being served help define the need(s).
  • Learning the context for the need(s) to be addressed:  Students investigate the circumstances surrounding the need.
  • Building respect for those being served:  Students identify the “talents” and “treasures” of those being served.
  • Discussion and selection:  There are a number of ways in which a need can be addressed; students look at options and make a selection.
  • Examination of policies and systems:  These may impact on the need and the proposed solution.
  • Identification of community partners:  It is recommended to involve these partners as soon as possible, to assist with the project design.
  • Project design:  Students design a project that is meaningful to them and to those being served; learning goals and service goals are agreed and a time line may be developed.
