Earn Your Certificate of Excellent Practice in K-12 Service-Learning
cep 2007
This spring, NYLC is offering advanced service-learning practitioners an opportunity to receive graduate credits, improve their service-learning practice, and earn a Certificate of Excellent Practice in K-12 Service-Learning — formal recognition of their service-learning expertise.
This program is offered in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and includes three online units of study, culminating in the submission of a portfolio for review by NYLC's evaluation committee.
Participants receive:
- two graduate credits from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls (requires successfully passing all class work)
- advanced training in service-learning best practices
- a Certificate of Excellent Practice in K-12 Service-Learning, providing national recognition of expert service-learning practice (requires successfully passing the NYLC evaluation board review)
NYLC developed the Certificate of Excellent Practice in K-12 Service-Learning to promote a consistent level of practice and produce the best results for young people. Using criteria developed by a national panel of service-learning experts, the NYLC evaluation board offers this certification of practitioners whose work meets the established criteria for high-level service-learning.
As the program is only for advanced practitioners, potential candidates must complete a "pre-application," which will be used to determine whether their experience is appropriate for this program. Those accepted will be provided with registration information.
