Teaching in Social Action: “In 2006, Dr. Scott Myers-Lipton created a social action course at San José State University. Ever since, he has been refining and honing this transformative pedagogy and curriculum. Importantly, Scott figured out how to do social action in one semester by having students do issue development, build power, explore tactics, and then launch a campaign and implement it.”
PSU Community Engagement Tool: “The Community Engagement Toolkit is designed to help you develop and practice skills to engage with your community for social change. The toolkit will help you to explore how and why you want to engage within the community, to find the tools to make meaningful connections with your communities, and to build your sense of community agency to become a catalyst for change.”
Give Pulse: Lewis & Clark’s platform for managing volunteer opportunities and tracking volunteer hours. Faculty can use this platform to manage the Community Engagement Projects in their course.
