Review Of Light The Fuse By Vince "Rocco" Vargas, Seth D. Kastle Ed.D.
Review Of Light The Fuse By Vince "Rocco" Vargas, Seth D. Kastle Ed.D.
Leadership Faculty Publications
Light the Fuse by Vincent “Rocco” Vargas is pseudo memoir offering guidance in the military to civilian transition and navigating everyday struggles of uncertainty. In Post-9/11 America, there is no shortage of current and former service members doing their best to provide the veteran community with their take on the “self-help book.” Since September 11, 2001, more than 2.7 million service members have deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn (Hautzinger, Howell, Scandlyn, & Wool, 2015). This continual conduit of service members experiencing war and returning to the civilian world has flooded the …
Discovering The Leader Within: Learning Leadership Through Service (2nd Edition), Brent Goertzen, Seth D. Kastle, Kaley Klaus, Justin Greenleaf
Discovering The Leader Within: Learning Leadership Through Service (2nd Edition), Brent Goertzen, Seth D. Kastle, Kaley Klaus, Justin Greenleaf
Leadership Open Educational Resources
Discovering the Leader Within: Learning Leadership through Service (2nd edition) is a resource guide for students participating in a service-learning course in leadership studies. More precisely, this workbook is designed to enhance the reflection and assessment components of students’ service-learning projects. Students are challenged to develop in all aspects of human development: cognitive, behavioral and affective domains. Students are challenged cognitively, in exploring the capacities of being knowledgeable about the leadership process; behaviorally, in making use of new skills to demonstrate their leadership abilities; and affectively, in examining one’s own attitudes and self-efficacy in affecting positive change for the common …
Majoring In Leadership: Issues Of Consistency And Credibility, Justin Greenleaf Ph.D., Seth D. Kastle Ed.D., Kyle Sramek, Curt Brungardt
Majoring In Leadership: Issues Of Consistency And Credibility, Justin Greenleaf Ph.D., Seth D. Kastle Ed.D., Kyle Sramek, Curt Brungardt
Leadership Faculty Publications
The field of Leadership Studies struggles with issues of consistency and credibility. Based on prior surveys of undergraduate leadership majors, it is evident that the field is not unified. Other multidisciplinary fields of study, which have more defined elements (e.g. Women’s Studies and African American Studies), are not burdened with the need to constantly define and/or defend their curriculum. This discussion presents the argument that increasing consistency among programs could lead to increased credibility as a field and a foundation moving leadership degree programs forward.
Weaving Theoretical Frameworks And Methods Together To Advance Research On Student Civic Outcomes, Lori E. Kniffin Ph.D.
Weaving Theoretical Frameworks And Methods Together To Advance Research On Student Civic Outcomes, Lori E. Kniffin Ph.D.
Leadership Faculty Publications
Set in the broader context of a renewed call for higher education institutions to develop students’ civic capacities, the edited volume Research on Student Civic Outcomes in Service Learning: Conceptual Frameworks and Methods focuses on the impact of service-learning courses on student civic outcomes. Calls to cultivate student civic outcomes in higher education can be found in many places. The editors cite several of these in the introductory chapter, including national organizations (e.g., The Democracy Commitment, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, Campus Compact), networks (e.g., Talloires Network, Europe Engage), academic institutions (e.g., Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), and foundations (e.g., Carnegie Foundation, …
Case-In-Point Pedagogy: Building Capacity For Experiential Learning And Democracy, Lori E. Kniffin Ph.D., Kerry L. Priest, Patti H. Clayton
Case-In-Point Pedagogy: Building Capacity For Experiential Learning And Democracy, Lori E. Kniffin Ph.D., Kerry L. Priest, Patti H. Clayton
Leadership Faculty Publications
Experiential learning in and out of the classroom provides students with opportunities to learn from reflecting critically on concrete experiences. This article introduces Case-in-Point (CIP), an experiential teaching and learning strategy that uses critical reflection-in-action within the context of the classroom environment to modify behaviors in real-time. We broaden the use of CIP beyond its original realm of application, teaching leadership, to instruction in a range of disciplines, and we explore its use to build capacity for experiential learning and democracy.

Welcome to the third in an ongoing series of special sections in the Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning (MJCSL) devoted to sharing the work of the Service-Learning and Community Engagement Future Directions Project (SLCE-F DP). This special section marks the second anniversary of the project. In this essay, we, the five curators of the SLCE-F DP, both introduce the thought pieces that comprise this special section and share our team’s critical examination of the project’s history and our sense of its own best future directions.

The purpose of higher education in the U.S. is rooted in developing an educated citizenry to strengthen democracy. However, this appreciation of higher education as a public good is eroding. The shift in society’s perception of higher education as a private good has led to a decrease in funding for higher education and an increase in student debt. Consequently, this has narrowed access to higher education and heightened students’ and parents’ expectations about the college experience and outcomes. If such trends continue, the public purposes of higher education will be lost. The civic purposes of higher education must be renewed …
Exploring The Community Impact Of Service-Learning Project Teams, Brent J. Goertzen Ph.D., Justin Greenleaf Ph.D., Danielle Dougherty
Exploring The Community Impact Of Service-Learning Project Teams, Brent J. Goertzen Ph.D., Justin Greenleaf Ph.D., Danielle Dougherty
Leadership Faculty Publications
The purpose of this project was to study community partners' perceptions of the impact of service-learning projects, by studying the ways in which “service-learning project teams” (SLPT) impacted the communities and organizations where they worked. Researchers purposefully selected 16 community partners (CP) who had direct experience working with and supervising service-learning project teams to take part in semi-structured interviews regarding their experiences. Analysis of the transcribed interviews resulted in 15 themes that were divided into two categories. These findings are intended to be a starting point for further research regarding the community impact of service-learning.
Nonprofit Use Of Social Media: Insights From The Field, Justin Greenleaf Ph.D.
Nonprofit Use Of Social Media: Insights From The Field, Justin Greenleaf Ph.D.
Leadership Faculty Publications
This study focuses on social media use in nonprofit organizations and how nonprofits perceive and strategize about the use of social media platforms. The study was open to any nonprofit organization actively engaged in the use of social media and fifteen different nonprofit organizations were purposefully selected for inclusion in the study. Through interviews with the social media strategists employed by the organizations, the researcher created a foundation for understanding perceptions of effective strategies for social media use in these nonprofits. While participants described a variety of social media platforms, discussion revolved primarily around the use of Facebook and Twitter. …

Service-learning and community engagement (SLCE) practitioner-scholars—meaning all who do the work of SLCE with a commitment to integrating practice and study—find avenues to this work in a variety of ways. Many of the thought leaders in this movement started as traditional scholars in their disciplines and, only in their later careers, focused on creating and enhancing SLCE on their own campuses and across the academy. Others first learned about SLCE as an epistemological framework and a pedagogy in graduate programs such as Curriculum and Instruction or Higher Education Leadership. Others came across it during their academic careers somewhat randomly in …
Responses To The Call For A National Strategic Plan, Lori E. Kniffin Ph.D., Jeffrey Howard
Responses To The Call For A National Strategic Plan, Lori E. Kniffin Ph.D., Jeffrey Howard
Leadership Faculty Publications
The Service-Learning and Community Engagement Future Directions Project (SLCE-FDP) was launched in 2015. Since then approximately 40 individuals from a wide range of perspectives have come together as contributors of thought pieces that issue bold calls to guide the future of SLCE. In an essay accompanying the ten thought pieces in Fall 2015, Howard and Stanlick (2015) called for the “development and implementation of a U.S. national SLCE strategic plan” (p. 128). Their essay provides one answer to the question of how all of the ideas about the future of SLCE being assembled by the SLCE-FDP – and also being …

In the 20 years since Zlotkowski (1995) called for curricular integration of service-learning (SL) across the academy, we have seen increasing adoption of and support for the pedagogy in students’ first-year experience. Gardner (2002) suggests that SL in the first year is particularly important because it can lead to increased self-esteem and self-confidence. Ferguson (2015) argues that it can be used then to awaken curiosity and help students connect to each other, the campus, and the community. And the field is accumulating evidence of the positive impact of SL in the first year on retention (e.g., Garoutte & McCarthy-Gilmore, 2014). …

Even among people who know and have seen the value of logic models, the term can “strike fear into the hearts” of experienced community psychologists and veteran non-profit staff and board members alike. Add the phrase “outcome-based planning” and you are likely to energize those you are working with to run as fast as possible for the door. Such technical terms may confuse and intimidate community members and grassroots partners who are the foundation of the practice of community psychology. At the same time, organizations can benefit from time spent on outcome-based planning, especially in developing a well-conceived logic model.
