Introduction to How to Facilitate Community-Engaged Learning

Bernadette Ludwig, Susan Rakosi Rosenbloom and Kristin Kenneavy

Chapter 1 in How to Facilitate Community-Engaged Learning, 2026, pp 1-4 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The introduction frames How to Facilitate Community-Engaged Learning as a practical guide for faculty, administrators, and community partners designing and teaching a community-engaged learning course. It offers an overview of the book including a glossary and topics such as logistics, student engagement, social identities, relationships, local and international partnerships, course content, and student learning outcomes and evaluation. Prioritizing authentic human interactions, this hands-on approach to civic engagement is based on the authors’ decades of first-hand experience and best practices research. The book serves as an antidote to commonly used passive learning strategies by demonstrating exactly how to create transformative learning experiences that students value.
