Abstract

Chapter 6 is an evaluation case study of “Healing ourselves, healing our communities,” a paired course, local–global community engagement program. The program attempted to enact the frameworks and strategies discussed in previous chapters through the study and practice of native healing traditions for personal and social change with local indigenous elders and youth in both the USA and Mexico. A direct assessment project focusing on these two courses provides an evaluation of the holistic academic and personal development of students, measuring learning across multiple objectives, including self-knowledge, community knowledge, and local–global connections. The chapter provides concrete tools (student learning outcomes, assessment rubrics, and evaluation designs) to assist teachers and community partners interested in crafting similar community engagement programs and assessments.
