Service In Action
Thinking back on the learning that has taken place in the classroom how can you apply the learning or the new skills you have developed by taking action
on issues and needs in the school, local, and/or global community.

1. Create a list of issues you feel are important in these communities.

2. Using your list, identify the ATL skills that will be necessary in order for you to tackle the issues you have identified. Use the ATL skills you have
 reflected on in this reflection.
3. Now that you have identified Actionable Issues and the ATL Skills necessary in order to deal with them, identify lessons, experiences, discussions
you’ve had in your classes that have gotten you to think about these issues or have provided you with the space to think about what you can do
to help be a part of the solution.
