Service Learning Ideas Service Learning Project Title Cultural Diversity – Language Services

Summary The video from “Lessons from the Real world” states that a lot of parents are embarrassed to come out and help a community because they can’t speak good/correct English (Gliner, 2011). By including their culture in their life and surroundings helps to make them feel welcomed. Putting different plants from different cultures and labeling them in native languages helped others feel more at home in their communities.

Alignment to State Academic Standards

Alignment to Professional Dispositions of Learners

Students and teachers are expected to treat everyone the same, regardless of their background or upbringing. By using the differences in each other’s cultures in the community helps the projects to allow for people to feel they’re all being treated the same. Instead of sticking to the basic, current quotas about it all.

This also allows for families to feel the schools are getting red of inequality and start treating everyone equally. With showing everyone’s diversity it helped allow others to feel more comfortable in their own clothes and show that their differences are what make them unique and important.

Visiting Senior Living Centers

Writing about the History in Their Town

Those in Senior Living areas are stuck in small buildings and are very limited on places they can go to. Some of the seniors have families and friends that come visit but not every day. Others have no family to come see them. By going to having visited these places and having people like a choir club coming and singing wonderful songs from their time periods they are able to transport the senior back in time. Which will make them take a trip down memory lane and will make them smile. Most think that writing assignments are boring, but it can become interesting if the topic is about a historical event in one’s own town. By sharing it with other

The children that go to a project for senior living areas could be beneficial to them for they could really make a difference in someone’s day. Older generations have stories of wars, and lots of knowledge of things that some people have never heard of. It’s important to understand that these seniors have needs like everyone else and could become more aware of life at these places and how their treated at places like these.

Students Tutoring Students (younger-older)

It’s wonderful to see older students feel that they are making a difference by helping those younger than them learn their material. Allowing students to work closely together in groups of those close in age helps build a bond that helps them learn and retain information better. Younger students are more likely to listen to someone around their own age because it would

For instance, newspapers can help further other students’ education and bringing to light different things on the subject that others may like to share with others (Block, 2019). Students learning is exactly what the academic standards want. By teaching in a fun way every now and then definitely be beneficial.

Each student can have an area on the wall of a hallway or classroom to decorate alone or they could decorate outside of their lockers with interesting facts about their own heritage. The teachers could then spend some time letting their class go out in the hall to look at the lockers.

backgrounds and other things that make them unique.

Learning about diversity is very important, especially if you want all the teachers but mainly students to bet along and also getting to know about each other. When children are having fun while learning they pay more attention and want to learn more. Since the children are liking what they are learning they are more likely to retain the information being learned, instead of ignoring it. By learning about differences in their classmates could be fun way to learn/explore about those sitting right next to them.

Helping make students feel more comfortable in their own bodies is a way that teachers and administration help ensure people are not getting bullied or treated different because of their differences. By decorating the lockers, it can help the student express themselves and feel happy about sharing their differences with their classmates in a way that they found fun.
