Educators can leverage Project Sidewalk to engage students in hands-on, real-world projects that assess sidewalk accessibility in their communities. By incorporating this initiative into their curriculum, teachers can fulfill service-learning requirements while helping students develop advocacy skills and a deeper understanding of inclusivity.
Engage your Students in Project-Based Service-Learning Curriculum
Are you ready to ignite your students’ passion for civic engagement? Project Sidewalk presents an incredible opportunity for educators to empower their students through hands-on experience and skill development! By integrating our dynamic, user-friendly platform into your curriculum, students can earn volunteer hours while honing essential advocacy skills that will last a lifetime.
Our curriculum features six engaging modules designed specifically for educators, offering a step-by-step guide on navigating the Project Sidewalk website and conducting impactful sidewalk audits right in their own communities. This is more than just a curriculum; it’s a chance for students to actively contribute to making their neighborhoods more accessible and inclusive.
Let’s inspire the next generation of advocates and changemakers, one sidewalk at a time! Ready to get started? Let us know if you’re interested!
Case Study 1 – Service-Learning Case Study
A partnership of four organizations— a local Girl Scout group, the local Multiple Sclerosis Society, and a local hospital and medical school—joined forces to conduct a sidewalk audit in their community. Our team worked with the Girl Scout Troop leaders to instruct their scouts on using the Project Sidewalk platform. The Girl Scouts gained valuable skills in advocacy and knowledge of disability rights and accessibility and contributed to the improvement of accessibility in their community.
