WEBVTT 00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:10.469 so reflection is where the bulk of the 00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:12.629 learning happens in this type of course 00:00:10.469 --> 00:00:14.550 the reason I say that is because if 00:00:12.629 --> 00:00:16.860 you're if you add an organization and 00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:19.230 you're just a volunteer you go you do 00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:21.000 the tasks and then you go back home but 00:00:19.230 --> 00:00:23.189 as a community engaged learning student 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.750 you're urged to do to take what you see 00:00:23.189 --> 00:00:27.329 and what you hear and what you're 00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:29.189 actually doing and reflect on that what 00:00:27.329 --> 00:00:31.290 does that mean for yourself as an 00:00:29.189 --> 00:00:32.820 advocate as a student what does it mean 00:00:31.290 --> 00:00:36.510 for the field and what does it mean for 00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:37.860 nonprofit work and also as a community 00:00:36.510 --> 00:00:39.630 engaged learning student you're kind of 00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:42.090 in a unique position because you have 00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:44.040 one foot in at the organization and then 00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:45.740 you have one foot in the university so 00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:48.210 reflection allows you to bridge that gap 00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:49.650 and like I said before it's where the 00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:52.500 learning happens and it's where you'll 00:00:49.650 --> 00:00:55.200 find value in this experience reflection 00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:57.870 is based on students experience in their 00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:00.150 placements so it is absolutely key to 00:00:57.870 --> 00:01:02.220 students learning students are evaluated 00:01:00.150 --> 00:01:03.930 on their capacity to make meaning and 00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:05.790 deepen their learning through reflection 00:01:03.930 --> 00:01:07.710 and what they experiencing in their 00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:09.360 placements and an and also in the 00:01:07.710 --> 00:01:11.550 seminars where students are learning 00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:14.790 from one another's ideas and narrated 00:01:11.550 --> 00:01:16.590 experience I think the value would be 00:01:14.790 --> 00:01:20.310 that it really kind of gives you a 00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:23.280 concerted space to explicitly kind of 00:01:20.310 --> 00:01:25.229 sit down and really consider choices 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.700 you're making the policeman how 00:01:25.229 --> 00:01:28.440 interactions are playing out maybe 00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:31.170 unconscious biases that you might have 00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:33.120 and not be aware of I think that in 00:01:31.170 --> 00:01:34.950 taking the time to reflect you really 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.500 have the opportunity to connect the 00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:41.670 academic to what's going on in your 00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:44.280 placement site and then to really think 00:01:41.670 --> 00:01:48.180 through how it is you're moving through 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.740 space and really identify the learning 00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:51.570 and growth that's happening for you that 00:01:49.740 --> 00:01:54.500 we don't always do in kind of the hustle 00:01:51.570 --> 00:01:54.500 and bustle of the everyday
