After a week of waiting, I\u00a0had received\u00a0a little over 10 responses from professors at SIUE.\u00a0Even though I had received\u00a0less\u00a0answers than I originally expected, I did notice some patterns in the responses.\u00a0While only 3 participants mentioned teaching or planning\u00a0to teach a course, such as Environmental Anthropology,\u00a0that would\u00a0benefit\u00a0from the input of a community organization, those same participants went on\u00a0to\u00a0state that they had prior experience working with a community organization in a classroom setting.\u00a0Also, only one out of three participants\u00a0claimed that they had a negative experience with these organizations.\u00a0A common theme throughout these responses appears to be a positive outlook on community organizations\u00a0from the professors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the majority of the professors seem to believe that the use of community organizations is beneficial for students in and outside of school (Figure 1), with several of them arguing that it gives the students both practical and real-world experience. From the responses, it is obvious that many of these professors are willing to offer lecture time to these organizations as well. When asked what these community organizations can do in a classroom setting, the majority of them suggested either giving lectures or networking with students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After asking whether or not students would benefit from collaborating with community organizations in a classroom setting, I went on to ask why the professors chose this answer. The majority of the responses I received suggested that it would offer much real-world experience to those participating in the course. However, there was one response that I decided to take a closer look at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last response to this question has highlighted the idea that community organizations can offer both experience and knowledge that college professors cannot provide to their students. While this was only one opinion out of multiple, this specific professor has shown how community\u00a0organizations can offer input from actual community works, while professors can only show students what to expect. The professor could not\u00a0provide a specific example for a class\u00a0that they could teach to contribute, but they are\u00a0willing to support these efforts\u00a0regardless. Even if it is difficult for the average professor to help with this issue, we do have people who are willing to do what they can to allow their students to learn from community organizations.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
