Doing Diversity through Service Learning 
	Linda Good, Minnesota State University, Mankato

As a significant part of the college course Human Relations in a Multicultural 
Society,  pre-service teachers are engaged in service learning and reflection 
as two of the primary methods to develop cultural awareness and appreciation, 
human relations skills, and positive dispositions about diverse groups in society.   
Eleven oppressed groups in U.S. society are the focus of students’ study, 
experience in the community, and reflection. Education students “do” diversity 
through eighteen contact hours of service learning with a group that is outside 
their comfort zone.  Specific planned objectives are addressed throughout the 
service learning experience.  At the conclusion of the service learning, students 
reflect on the experience.
