Presentation Abstract
This presentation focuses on what Adventist education would look like if we were totally committed to community engagement and not treat it as an afterthought or add-on. Embedded in this vision is a constructive critique of our status quo. It calls for us to use the tools of academic research to assess our current philosophy, pedagogy and practice regarding community engagement in our mission, our curriculum, our syllabi, our teaching, our classrooms, our system of tenure, and our budget. Do our current practices reflect a core value or is community engagement an afterthought?
