Basic Course Description -- Quarter One -- 2008-09

This service learning course will work to develop strong, committed student voices at Shabazz in areas of personal leadership, school government, community building, group dynamics, conflict resolution, and problem solving. As a way to further understand concepts of leadership, students will complete a variety of writing and analysis assignments, actively participate in discussions, and contribute to hands-on projects. Students will also examine and develop an understanding of current educational issues and concepts of community through an analysis of various articles and media sources. All students in the CLASS must participate in either the district’s Student Senate evening meetings, district Board of Education meetings, or the Shabazz student input groups.

Prerequisites: Members of the course must bring with them a strong desire to understand and enhance their current Shabazz community, a firm commitment to follow current Shabazz policies, an ability to complete individual assignment responsibilities within deadlines, and a willingness to actively work in cooperative groups.

Note: Students with a harassment or AOD violation within the last two quarters are not eligible for this course.
