Community Service Learning in Planning Education

A Framework for Course Development

Susan L. Roakes

Dorothy Norris-Tirrell

Graduate Program in Public Administration, University of Memphis.

This article explains the importance of including service learning opportunities in the planning curriculum. Based on an interdisciplinary literature, the authors develop a four-part framework for service learning: an emphasis on the different ways of understanding; the value of human experience as a source of learning; the requirement for reflective thinking to transform experience into learning; and an ethical foundation that stresses citizenship to community, profession, and a larger public interest. This framework is then applied through a studio course that is taught annually in the Graduate Program in City and Regional Planning at the University of Memphis.
