Conference Topic:
Integration of Theory and Practice
Title of Presentation:
INTEGRATION OF THEORY AND PRACTICE: SERVANT LEADER
Brief Description
The goal of this presentation is to offer an overview of several examples from our Service Learning and School-To Work initiatives. Volunteerism, mentorship, service learning and School-to-Work projects further immerse the pre-service teachers in community service as they respond to the needs of the children as members of a larger family.
Preservice teachers involved in this Service Learning Program and School-to-Work Program will experience first hand that the world is the child's classroom, with the family as the primary teacher. It will help the preservice teacher realize that the environment experienced by their students as infants and young children is very influential. An effective educator needs to realize this fact in order to determine academic, attitudinal and behavioral expectations for each individual student. The practical experiences of the Servant Leader concept will assist in the integration of theory and practice.
