Reflection in Action Resources

Click below to access various resources that might help as you develop your Reflection in Action experience. Please note there is no "one size fits all" for RIA experiences - departments are encouraged to create or adapt experiences to fit the needs of their students.

• CARE Reflection Model: This model for reflection, adapted from the DEAL Reflection Model (Clayton and Ash, 2009) and the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm), can be used to structure reflections for students both before, during and after their off-campus learning experience.

• Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm: Covered in the Ignite First-Year Seminars of the core curriculum, instructors are encouraged to "close the loop" and implement aspects of this Ignatian reflection model.

• Center for Service and Community Engagement: Instructors needing ideas for what their off-campus learning experience could look like are encouraged to reach out to the staff of the CSCE, or explore their Community Partners Database for potential off campus organizations their students could engage with.
