      -   campus-wide faculty forums for the discussion of service-learning and its surrounding issues;

In 2002, the Faculty Policy Committee on Service-Learning established a set of Service-Learning Course Review Criteria and a Service-Learning Criteria Matrix, which identify the kinds of community-based and field experiences that qualify and do not qualify as service-learning.

Throughout the year, the Service-Learning Center works in collaboration with a number of campus units including the:

• Office of Educational Development, which provides written and online materials for faculty who wish to learn more about teaching or to improve their current teaching methods.
  
  
• Council of Academic Partners, a collaboration of a broad range of campus units that encourage, support, and enhance excellence in teaching. The units represented on CAP support undergraduate and graduate teaching and all levels of teaching staff at Berkeley. You will find the Service-Learning Center on the Council's Teaching Resources at CAL Web page.
  
  
• Cal Corps Public Service Center, which facilitates UC Berkeley's volunteer, community service, and co-curricular service-learning activities.
