Beyond Resume Padding: Ideas for Meaningful Service in ICSD's Secondary Schools

 

 

 

  

The Goal of this Website

 

The goal of this website is to offer models of community service and service learning that were carried out at Ithaca High School, Boynton Middle School and DeWitt Middle School as part of my 2009-10 sabbatical.  My hope is that these models may push us beyond what service often becomes at the secondary level, which is to bolster the resumes of already college bound students.  Along with the models, I offer resources and advice that may be of use in carrying out service efforts.  In addition, with regards to Ithaca High, I assess possible directions for service based on surveys and discussions with students, teachers, and administrators.  

 

To be clear, prior to my sabbatical each secondary school already had in place various service efforts and elements.  Many of these are wonderful – from service clubs to tech classes sharing their work in the community to the National Honor Society.  However, much of my sabbatical work, with the exception of the Government class at Ithaca High, focused on creating new avenues for service, often with students who did not readily fall into the high powered college bound AP / Honors grouping.
