Description
Last semester, we started a new service-learning project known as Colonel Chat, which pairs pre-service teacher candidates to public school students in virtual tutoring sessions. Our pre-service teachers are required to complete a certain amount of service-learning hours for classes and this project has helped them achieve that while decreasing common problems such as time constraints and low public school involvement. It has also increased involvement and achievement of community partners. The public school students who participated in the pilot program showed an increase in vocabulary achievement and motivation to learn.
