Action

Here are some ideas from Seattle University faculty for encouraging students to consider what they will do with their new learning, how they will engage in transformative action.

“I like to ask students how what they’ve learned has been meaningful. ‘What is this learning going to change for you? What are you going to change because of this learning?’”
“I design my course to try to put them in a situation where they will need to get involved with people outside the classroom.”
“I sometimes ask students to create an action map that shows how they might use what they’ve learned outside of class and in the future.”
