An exciting new service-learning project is off to an amazing start this Fall semester. Professor Tracy Wyant, of the Education Department, has enlisted the talents of her students to “perform” a great service to the local community. As a part of the course EDU 150: Performance and Presentation Skills for Educators, Wyant’s service-learners have created original stories with a positive, educational message that they will present to the children of two local child care sites. The service-learning performers will be bringing their stories to life at the MCC Child Care Center and the Jefferson Avenue Childhood Development Center.
As a part of the course, Wyant’s service-learners had the opportunity to have their stories critiqued by performing in front of a panel of experts in the field of youth entertainment: KIDS! Wyant brought in her own children, and invited the children of her students and faculty to help the performers get useful feedback from their target audience. The workshop was a great success! Below you can see pictures from some of the performances, many of which included brilliant costumes, catchy songs, and great props.
