MPS Service Learning Workshop

In September, the Institute of World Affairs (IWA) co-hosted a workshop with Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) exploring service-learning as a powerful instructional practice to engage students in learning for action.  Approximately twenty MPS educators participated in this interactive program to discover ways students can apply classroom learning to address real-world, global-to-local issues.  The program featured a case study on climate action to provide a practical example to guide educators through the process.  IWA will continue to work with MPS throughout the school year to support teachers interested in experimenting with global-to-local service-learning.
