Teacher Engagement in CLCs
Community Service Learning
One of the most effective ways that teachers can leverage school-community partnerships is by developing Community Service Learning (CSL) projects.
CSL is a proven teaching strategy that helps students acquire subject-specific and cross-curricular competencies while meeting an authentic community need.

In addition to leading CSL projects, teachers can get involved by joining the CLC leadership team, supporting the community through volunteerism, and by actively supporting programs that address the health and well-being of students and families.
Teachers play a key role in facilitating opportunities for youth voice in schools and communities which is key to the development of a new generation of active citizens with a deep sense of belonging.
Curated Resources for Teacher Engagement
Below are two padlet tools that help guide a planning conversation with educators in a school interested in the Community School Approach.
The Service Learning and Curriculum Connections padlet outlines subject specific competencies and examples of projects where students Take Action! Add your project to the padlet and celebrate successful learning opportunities that incorporate citizenship, youth leadership and service to the community.
The Service Learning and Cross Curricular Competencies padlet is a tool to support a purposeful planning conversation with school staff. Make a copy of the padlet to brainstorm how a service learning project embedded in multiple subject areas engage students in the QEP’s Cross Curricular Competencies (CCC).
