CELD 2010: Beginning Capacity Building

University Programs

This course will allow second-year students in the Bonner Leaders Program the opportunity to craft their Capstone Proposal by the end of academic year 2022-23. Through intentional projects at their internship sites and related classroom discussions, activities, and assignments, Bonners will begin to move into a more self-guided experience as they become more informed about issue areas of their interest. As most students enter into the second year at their Bonner internship sites, they will begin to transition their roles as student interns into student coordinators. The intent is for students to have more responsibility and agency in designing projects, activities, and/or programs at their sites with approval and guidance from their supervisor, e.g., a student working at a school-based site will now begin to co-create and design activities for the students rather than having these materials given to them as was the case their first year. As students begin to lead these projects on their sites, reflections and other assignments in class will allow students to recognize which potential projects they can explore for their Capstone Proposal, to be submitted in spring 2023. Students will begin to research the root causes of issues that relate to their program proposal reflected in a summative document to be submitted by the end of the fall semester.

CELD 2020: Knowing Your Issue

University Programs

This course will allow spring semester, sophomore students in the Bonner Leaders Program the opportunity to craft their Capstone Proposal Plan by the end of academic year 2022-2023. The spring semester will conclude with students submitting a Capstone Proposal Plan that outlines their selected capstone project and overview of work they will begin in the Fall 2023 semester. The theme for CEL 202 is "Knowing Your Issue." Now that sophomore Bonners have been at their internship sites for at least three semesters, they will begin to examine and study root causes of issues their sites address that, over time, will develop into their Capstone Proposal Plan. Specifically, CEL 202 will focus on 4 subthemes: •\tResearching the Scope of a Problem •\tResearching Current Programs / Policies •\tIdentifying Proven Programs / Policies •\tFinalizing and Sharing Issue Brief Students will participate in classroom activities, reflections, and draw from experiences at their internship sites to identify issues for their Capstone. Ideas will be drawn up in the summative Capstone Proposal Plan to be completed by the end of the Spring 2023 semester. Students will use their plan to begin their Capstone work in their CEL 301 Fall 2023 class.
