 Partnering with Schools and Communties

CWI faculty members are joining with educators from across Quebec province, including its most rural regions and city centers for multi day service-learning trainings and  support for school and community partnerships.
CWI is working in partnership with Arizona Learn & Serve and AZDOE. Efforts include leading a three day leadership training for Arizona educators, students, and Americorps staff. We have been priviliged to meet a fascinating group of teachers and students working on a host of innovative projects in the state.
Educators in Oregon's Ashland District worked with CWI faculty to deepen their capacity to embed service-learning and sustainability with in the curriculum. In Vermont, Grand Isle District spent an on site inservice day, with their entire faculty attending, working with CWI and our partner Shelburne Farms to follow up on work begun by several adminstrators and teachers at CWI's Summer EAST Institute on Service-Learning at Shelburne Farms.
 Other recent highlights include the capacity turnout of a quite amazing group of educators for CWI's annual Summer East Institute on Service-Learning held in the welcoming environs of our partner Shelburne Farms.

INSTITUTE REFLECTION
 Vesting Learners, Facilitating Voice

I really did not know exactly what to expect. Honestly, what could really happen in just a week’s time? Well, I can now say that a lot can happen: inspiration; intensity; purpose; and transformation. read more
