Since 2007, the public schools of New Orleans (NOLA) have benefited from university volunteers engaged in service-learning experiences. Teacher candidates,and faculty from NLU work with NOLA teachers to help clean and set-up classrooms, develop curriculum and libraries, and prepare materials for children beginning the new school year. Service-learning experiences transform pre-service teachers into civically engaged educators and active community leaders.

Royal Castle Day Care
Today we visited Royal Castle DC. It was an experience in committment and gave new meaning to the word "child-centered" pedagogy. The Director, Ms. Harris, was energetic and resourceful, not to mention, a true mentor to her staff and surrounding community. This was a labor of love. My time was spent organizing and labeling materials related to everyday operations. The days have winded down and I pray that this endeavor has very positive ends.
