A guide for Service Learning Institutionalization of a career

STAGE I BEGINNING OF INSTITUTIONALIZATION

The purpose of this stage is to form a SL promoting team within the career that will allow the gathering of information in order to evaluate the feasibility of institutionalizing the methodology.

STEP 1: CONFORMATION OF THE SL COMMITTEE

The process of SL institutionalization in a UC career begins with the constitution of a committee responsible for the process. For this first step to be generated, it is necessary, on the one hand, that there are key individuals within the career or institution who are committed to the incorporation of SL, and on the other hand, that there is some institutional support for this space to be built.

It is desirable that this committee be formed by: - At least one director of the career. - At least one student (who has participated in some SL experience or who is a student representative of the career. E.g. academic advisor). - Professors with at least half working day. - At least one representativeof the community partners (e.g. Professional of Puentes UC ). - A professional fromtheCentrodeDesarrollo Docente

The invitation is to conform a diverse committee that ensures a teamwork with multiple approaches. A person in charge of

this team should lead the process, in such a way as to gather this diversity and be able to bring them together.
