Introduction
Group Endeavours in Service Learning (GESL) is a service-learning community outreach programme of the National Institute of Education (NIE). Student teachers through their networking and support groups will perform the service-learning projects facilitated by an academic facilitator
Understanding community needs through service learning
The type of community projects undertaken will be decided by the GESL groups through their own decision-making process and resources. Each group will perform a needs analysis with an organisation or community to ascertain the scope of the project. Service and learning objectives will be determined before the group start on their project.
Completed projects will be showcased within the NIE campus, or through other communication channels.
GESL will be undertaken by all student teachers in NIE's initial teacher education programmes from 2005 .
