Overview of the Leadership Module


Leadership Module
General Overview
The leadership module supports students development and understanding of leadership.
Through the various reflective activities students will explore their personal definition of
leadership and draw connections to their social context(s) (i.e. race, gender, religion, etc.)*.
Identify ways of connecting their leadership to interactions with individuals at the service
learning site. Students will also focus on applying their understanding of leadership to the real
world and their vocational trajectory.
*Social context includes factors such as race, gender, religion, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, faith,
age, physical/mental ability, and other characteristics by which society defines, describes or categorizes
people.

Pre-Service Reflection
Overview
Pre-Service reflection creates a safe space for you to prepare for your service learning experience
while simultaneously developing your personal definition of leadership and making important
connections to course content. An overview of social context(s) (i.e. race, gender, religion, etc.)*
is introduced to allow you to begin thinking more about yourself and your leadership style
related to those you will interact with in this course and at the service learning site.
A focused consideration on how your personal definition of leadership differs from others helps
you to develop empathy and an understanding of the variety of different successful leadership
styles out there. Defining leadership in many different ways will allow you to work effectively
with classmates, those in the service learning process, and beyond.

experiences around leadership. Internalizing how your social context(s) (i.e. race, gender,
religion, etc.)* influence your actions and thought process, help you understand not only yourself
but also how others may perceive you.
A focused consideration of how you navigate your leadership and how others around you may
interpret those decisions or actions, help to broaden your understanding and appreciation for
leadership. Leadership development is a continual process, and continued reflection allows you
to grow as a leader.

Learning Outcomes

Post-Service Reflection
Overview
Post-service reflection provides an opportunity for you to pull together your service learning
0progression in a meaningful way. A focused consideration of the path youve traveled and your
evolution during your service learning experience can lead you to interesting insights and can
deepen your understanding and appreciation of the learning and development you acquired
during your service learning experience.
In addition to providing closure to your service learning experience, post-service reflection can
also help you consider the ways in which your service learning experience might guide your
choices, behavior and learning going forward. Service learning can serve as a source of
inspiration and guidance in your personal and professional endeavors. Post-service reflection
can help focus your attention on potential sources for this inspiration in your service learning
experiences.

Leadership Module

There are many leadership programs available today, from


1-day workshops to corporate training programs. Chances
are, these won't really help. In this clear, candid talk,
Roselinde Torres describes 25 years observing truly great
leaders at work, and shares the three simple but crucial
questions would-be company chiefs need to ask to thrive in
the future.
Assignment
After watching this video, you will reflect on what you believe it means to be a leader. Each
student will post what it means to them to be a leader based on their reaction to the TEDTalk by
Wednesday. Things to think about for your post:
Do you agree/disagree with Roselinde?
What about the video resonated with you?
How might this relate to the service learning you are participating in for class?
After everyone has posted, each student is required to comment on at least two posts by peers by
Saturday. Finally, based on the collective discussion, students will identify one general theme of
leadership to send to the professor in order create a collective class view on leadership.

Blog: Definition of Service Learning
The Council for Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) defines service learning
as a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human
and community needs together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote
student learning and development. This blog post is designed to get you to start thinking about
service learning in general and the questions, comments, or concerns you have regarding this
out-of-classroom experience.

Assignment
Select OR create an image that represents what service learning means to you. This image could
be a picture from a previous service learning experience, or choose an image that represents what
you expect to get out of this experience. After you have selected and posted your photo, answer
the following questions in the post:
Please describe the picture you chose
How does this picture represent service learning?
Reflecting on your picture and definition of service learning, how do you think leadership plays a
role in a service learning experience?
How do you plan to exhibit leadership throughout your service learning experience?
How have the course concepts thus far prepared you for your service learning experience?

Pre-Service Reflection
Essay: What is the DEAL?
This essay prompt will allow for you to set goals and expectations for your service learning
project using Patti Claytons DEAL model of critical reflection. In this essay, you will Describe,
Examine, and Articulate the Learning you would like to get out of this experience.
Assignment
Part 1 - As you prepare for your service learning experience, what are some assumptions you
have about service learning? Do you have any prior experience with service learning? If so,
describe how those experiences went - what did you gain from that experience? If you have not
participate in service learning before articulate what your expectations are - what do you want to
get out of this experience? What questions and/or concerns do you have before beginning this
service learning partnership? What excites you about this experience?
Part 2 - The second part of the essay will prompt you to examine the meaning behind service
learning and leadership. How would you define service learning? Does your definition of
service learning change as it relates to this specific project for class? How has the content you
have learned in the classroom so far prepared you for your service learning experience? In what
ways do you see yourself as a leader? How leadership and your role as a leader both inside and
outside of this course matter to your upcoming service learning experience? What are some
social contexts* meaningful to you? How do those social contexts* play part in your role as a
leader? How do you think some of those social contexts* could impact your service learning
experience?
*Social context includes factors such as race, gender, religion, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, faith,
age, physical/mental ability, and other characteristics by which society defines, describes or categorizes
people.

Discussion: Role Models
De Leon A., Knight K., Ramirez H. 2015

Leadership Module

Leadership can be found in every setting and environment. With this in mind, consider who has
risen as a leader in your eyes during your tenure at your service site. Who takes initiative and
supports their peers in accomplishing the tasks at your service site? Consider how different
leaders may lead through coaching while others craft visions for the organization. Leadership
manifests and exhibited in a multitude of ways.
Assignment
After reflecting on who you believe are leaders at your service learning site, choose one
individual you would like to interview. Set up a time with that individual for a 20 30 minute
interview to discuss how they lead. While interviewing, consider asking the following questions
for your post:
What does leadership mean to you?
How do you lead in this environment?
Where did you develop your leadership style?
Where do you draw strength or motivation from as a leader?
How have your social context(s) (i.e. race, gender, religion, etc.)* influence how you
lead?
Do you have any recommendations or suggestions on how I could become a better
leader?
*Social context includes factors such as race, gender, religion, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, faith,
age, physical/mental ability, and other characteristics by which society defines, describes or categorizes
people.

Also consider any follow-up questions you might be interested in learning from this individual.
Take this opportunity to not only learn about their leadership journey, but how they have been
successful in their field thus far.
After everyone has posted, each student will be required to comment on at least two posts by
peers by Saturday. Through these exchanges, see how other students have navigated discussions
with the leaders at their sites. Unearth commonalities and differences between student posts, so
that you can learn from each other.

This essay is geared to help you reflect on issues as you continue your experience at your service
learning site.
Part 1

Explore how your current experience at the service learning site has connected to your
course thus far. What course concepts, ideas, and/or outcomes discussed in the class have
manifested at your service learning site? How have the experiences at the service
learning site expanded your understanding of course content? List any questions you are
beginning to see form between experiences you have had and the course content.

Part 2

Based on your experience thus far at the service learning site, how do you think you have
grown as a leader? Have you gained any skills or knowledge which will allow you to be
a better leader in the future? Were there any instances where the knowledge gained in
your course allowed you to be a better leader at your service learning site? What learning
edges or places of personal growth have you learned of during your experience at the
service learning site (i.e. public speaking, organization, collaboration, etc.)? Are your
views on leadership being altered or challenged? How does your social context play into
how you navigate leadership? Considering future learning experiences, vocational
aspirations, and community involvement, where do you need to grow to become a better
leader? How will you negotiate leadership differently in the future? How will your
social context influence your leadership in the future?

Post-Service Reflection
Module Overview
Post-service reflection provides an opportunity for you to pull together your service learning
progression in a meaningful way. A focused consideration of the path youve traveled and your
evolution during your service learning experience can lead you to interesting insights and can
deepen your understanding and appreciation of the learning and development you acquired
during your service learning experience.
In addition to providing closure to your service learning experience, post-service reflection can
also help you consider the ways in which your service learning experience might guide your
choices, behavior and learning going forward. Service learning can serve as a source of
inspiration and guidance in your personal and professional endeavors. Post-service reflection
can help focus your attention on potential sources for this inspiration in your service learning
experiences.

Learning Outcomes
During this reflection exercise, you will:
Explore internal and external factors related to leadership development.
Recognize ways in which social context(s) (i.e. race, gender, religion, etc.)* and leadership are
connected.
Identify how social context(s) (i.e. race, gender, religion, etc.)* impact leadership actions in real
world situations.
Identify course concepts, ideas, and/or outcomes related to their service learning experience as it
pertains to leadership.
Describe the relevance of leadership in their service learning experience.
Create connections between leadership that is influenced by social context(s) (i.e. race, gender,
religion, etc.)* and the service learning experience in relation to their personal and professional
goals.
Use appropriate conventions to effectively communicate meaning.
*Social context includes factors such as race, gender, religion, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, faith,
age, physical/mental ability, and other characteristics by which society defines, describes or categorizes
people.

Discussion: Defining Leadership


Leadership looks different for everyone. Some people define it by what someone does, others
define it by personality qualities or characteristics. With this in mind, consider your own
definition of leadership and how it developed during your time at your service site. What does it
looks like to engage in leadership?

Assignment
After reflecting on how you have come to understand and define leadership, develop a succinct
and clearly stated definition. As you are formulating your definition, consider the following
questions:
How did you serve as a leader at your service learning site?
What could you have done differently to engage in leadership at your service learning site?
What information or ideas from course content influence your definition of leadership?
What factors (consider social context*) impact your own leadership style?
In what ways did you witness others leading during your service learning experience?
What makes someone a good leader?
What does effective leadership look like?
How does leadership look in relation to your vocational goals?
*Social context includes factors such as race, gender, religion, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, faith,
age, physical/mental ability, and other characteristics by which society defines, describes or categorizes
people.

Post your personally created definition of leadership with a paragraph (6-10 sentences)
explaining your process of reflection and thought that went into developing the definition.
After all classmates have posted, you are to comment on at least two posts by peers by Saturday.
Through these exchanges, see how other students have come to understand and define
leadership. Unearth commonalities and differences between student posts, so that you can learn
from each other.

Post-Service Reflection
Blog: Making Meaning with Music
Assignments
This blog assignment is geared to help you creatively reflect on your understanding of service
learning and leadership as they are related to one another. Consider the following two parts
before beginning your blog post:
Part 1
Music can be a powerful tool to bring meaning to our everyday experiences. The ability for
lyrics and instrumental sounds to be interpreted in different ways creates opportunities for us to
make meaning of music in whatever ways we like. In thinking about how you have come to
understanding service learning and leadership, select a song (with or without lyrics) that best
illustrates your new understanding.
Part 2
Once you have selected your song, you are to post a link to the audio or video for your selected
song and then write a description and reflection that explains why you have selected your song.
In selecting a song and in writing your blog post, consider the following guiding questions:
What kind of melody, beat, or words best describe the ways in which you see service learning
and leadership being connect?
Is there a peak or climax in which service learning and leadership were most deeply connected
for you during your experience this semester? Are you able to find a song that illustrates that
peak?
If you select a song with words, what phrases or lyrics stand out to you and why? What meaning
do they carry?
If you select a song without words, what sounds or melodies stand out to you and why? What
meaning do they carry?
How does this song represent how you will continue to consider leadership and service learning
in your future experiences?
How does the song represent social context, if at all?
How does the song illustrate concepts you have learned in the classroom?

Reflective and Integrative Narrative

When designing any sort of curriculum, it is important to consider all of the working
pieces that will influence the final product. Beginning with a consideration of learning outcomes
was useful in moving forward with the development of the assessment rubrics and reflection
activities. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider the participants and their context as it relates
to the learning that could happen with the use of a curriculum. By understanding context, it is
possible to craft a program that applies to all participants, rather than to a select group. During
this process of incorporating context, we struggled to collaborate with all the stakeholders for
this project. But we were ultimately able to overcome these challenges and continue the
development of the module. In order to build a developmentally appropriate curriculum that
focused on fostering leadership development, our group utilized an integrated and backward
approach that allowed us to create a feasible program for undergraduate students at Marquette
University.
The leadership module was intentionally crafted to incorporate Finks (2003) Integrated
Course Design and infuse a developmental progression into each level of the module. The
Integrated Course Design was interwoven into the module through the purposeful connections
between the learning outcomes, activities, and rubric. The synergy between these three
components were facilitated through the use of backward design (Fink, 2003). Our group
discussed what the ultimate goals of the leadership module would be for students, and from that
dialogue a list of learning outcomes were developed. With this starting point, the outcomes were
assigned to pre-, mid-, and post-service levels. These learning outcomes outlined how students
would begin the process of engaging the topic of leadership and slowly evolve their
understanding of this concept. After the learning outcomes were created for each level, they

De Leon A., Knight K., Ramirez H. 2015

Leadership Module

68

were used to fashion activities that complemented these learning outcomes. The activities were
also shaped in such a way to allow students to develop conceptual frameworks around
leadership. As Bransford, Brown, and Cocking (1999) mention, learning to see patterns and
developing conceptual frameworks allow students to use the concepts in new situations and learn
similar information more quickly in the future. Once the activities were developed, the rubrics
were modified to accommodate the learning outcomes and activities. Each level of the
leadership module kept the same learning outcomes on the rubrics for consistency, but varied the
activities to allow for creativity on the part of the students when they attempted to reflect on their
learning. Through this process we attempted to be intentional, but there were many challenges
along our path.
One of those challenges for our group was the co-creation of the curriculum module with
our colleagues at Marquette. Before the course began, many of the conversations and structure
for the module were predetermined. So these restrictions stifled some of the creativity that could
have taken place during the inception of this module. Another challenge was the one day inperson trip to Marquette. This trip was useful but the one interaction with Kim and Shaun was
not enough for us to absorb the myriad facets of this project. Additionally, the infrequent
communication with Marquette after our visit made it difficult to clarify any questions or
confusion about the project. The last challenge was ensuring that our learning outcomes,
activities, and rubrics were integrated. But through continuously revisiting each of the
components and ensuring they aligned, we were able to create an integrated leadership module.
Once this was accomplished we attempted to make sure that this leadership module was unique
and fulfilled the various needs of Marquette University students.

De Leon A., Knight K., Ramirez H. 2015

With the desire of developing an innovative and unique leadership module, we decided to
interweave leadership and social context. Too often, leadership theory is taught without a careful
consideration of the context and factors that influence ones ability to lead. In designing the
leadership module and its activities our group decided to focus on social context as it relates to
leadership experiences and development. Social context encompasses social identities, such as
race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion, gender, sex, sexual orientation, ability, and age,
among others. In an effort to help students understand the connection of social context and
leadership at their service learning site, our group intentionally asked guiding reflection
questions in our pre-, mid-, and post-service activities. While not all students are
developmentally ready to discuss the complexities of social context, our group saw value in at
least having students begin to reflect on the ways in which their unique contexts impact their
learning and development. It was important for us to create activities that would be wellreceived by all students.
In the same way that we sought to challenge students to think about context, we
challenged ourselves to discuss the ways in which context related to the development of our
leadership module. We knew that in order to develop an effective and appropriate curriculum
plan, we would need to consider our audience. Knowing that the students who would be
participating in our activities come from very different disciplines, we thoughtfully created
activities that would be applicable for students in the arts and humanities, but also for students in
STEM fields and social sciences. We ensured that all perspectives and voices were considered
when the leadership module was crafted.
The leadership module developed by our team, is a contemporary take on leadership,
where social context is at the core. We seamlessly incorporated creative takes on how to

integrate leadership in a multitude of disciplines, and also ensured that students were
accomplishing substantive learning outcomes. Though we attempted to produce a strong
module, there were definitely challenging times but we pulled together to complete the product.
Challenges aside, it was refreshing to see the amount of time and energy spent on all three levels
(Marquette, Patrick Green, Loyola students) on creating a detailed, integrated reflection module
to aid in a students service learning experience. Hopefully the students at Marquette are able to
use this leadership module, and explore who they are as they navigate their leadership style.
