Service Learning Forms and Info
According to Chicago Public Schools (CPS),
In order to complete the graduation requirements for Service Learning hours, PMA students must adhere to the following: juniors from the class of 2013 and seniors from the class of 2012 can continue to earn individual Service Learning hours. They must document these hours using:
The PDF version of these forms can be downloaded from the links below.
Note, the forms, sheets, and essay must be properly completed or no hours will be awarded.
Current changes in the CPS Service Learning requirement for graduation will directly impact freshman and sophomores from this school year, 2011-2012, forward. All Service Learning will be curriculum- and portfolio-based in addition to completion of the pre-service preparation form, post-service reflection form, 1-2 page MLA style essay, and time sheet(s) for student to be granted Service Learning hours towards graduation.
At PMA, students will be given the opportunity to complete their curriculum-based projects through either their JROTC, AVID, or Spanish class. They will receive either a regular project assignment grade or an extra credit grade.
Moreover, the portfolio includes a 3-5 page MLA style paper regarding the type of service completed and making sure to respond to the following: what is the type of Service Learning, who is impacted by this service, when does this service take place, who does this service, why is this type of service important and how is this type of service relevant to what was taught in the classroom. Types of Service Learning include: child and youth development, community development, culture, education, environment, food, hunger, nutrition, housing and homelessness, immigration, public health, public safety, and senior citizen support.
The portfolio must also include at least three of the following documentation: interview(s), pictures, brochure, PowerPoint, and published literature by the service agency where the Service Learning hours were completed.
Portfolios must be turned into the particular JROTC, AVID, or Spanish teacher responsible for the Service Learning projects for an academic grade. The teacher will then forward the portfolio to the Service Learning Coach. The Service Learning will then input the number of Service Learning hours specified by the teacher, no more than 16 hours for each portfolio project, to the student's Service Learning hours electronic record at the end of semester that the project was completed by the student.
If you have any questions, please contact the PMA Service Learning Coach Mrs. Tobias.
