STUDENT SERVICE LEARNING (SSL) HOURS



Student Service Learning hours are earned through the completion of a specific project or service that aids a non-profit agency or

community organization.



All high school art students are provided opportunities to earn SSL hours within the context of the classroom. Projects may be planned by the

teacher, or proposed by the student and monitored by the teacher. These projects incorporate the skills developed in the academic setting, and are

assigned an appropriate number of service learning hours by the art teacher.



1. The preparation for a service learning activity occurs during academic instruction.

2. SSL hours are earned while the student is engaged in creating the product and, ultimately, by providing the service.

3. The student completes a written reflection describing the importance of their contribution in terms of the service or product they provided.

4. The teacher verifies the number of hours earned, and the student files the completed form with the school’s Service Learning Coordinator.

STUDENT SERVICE LEARNING (SSL) HOURS



Student Service Learning hours are earned through the completion of a specific project or service that aids a non-profit agency or

community organization.



All high school music students are provided opportunities to earn SSL hours within the context of the classroom. Projects/performances may be

planned by the teacher, or proposed by the student and monitored by the teacher. These projects/performances incorporate the skills developed in

the academic setting, and are assigned an appropriate number of service learning hours by the music teacher.



1. The preparation for a service learning activity occurs during academic instruction.

2. SSL hours are earned while the student is engaged in performing.

3. The student completes a written reflection describing the importance of their contribution in terms of the service or product they provided.

4. The teacher verifies the number of hours earned, and the student files the completed form with the school’s Service Learning Coordinator.
