Engaged Faculty Institute Curriculum

Community Campus Partnerships for Health

This Engaged Faculty Institute (EFI) curriculum provides a thorough, updated roadmap for intensive, facilitated faculty development specific to service-learning course construction, implementation, and sustainability in a college or university setting. Each unit within the curriculum addresses a key component of service-learning from basic definitions and an explanation of the pedagogy, to thinking about risk management in the design of service-learning courses, to deepening practitioners’ understanding of cultural competency as it relates to the student experience in a service-learning course. The curriculum also includes case studies, worksheets, research findings, and syllabi submitted through 46 colleges and universities from 61 academic disciplines and/or Centers for Service Learning and Community Engagement from across the Campus Compact and Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) networks.

The EFI Curriculum was originally authored by CCPH in 2007. In 2015, in collaboration with CCPH, it was redesigned by California Campus Compact and Campus Compact of the Mountain West.
