ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Jan. 28, 2010 - Dr. Paula Scraba in the School of Education has had a chapter in the book “Service-Learning in Physical Education and Related Professions: A Global Perspective” published. The chapter, “Service-Learning in Physical Education and Activity: Blending Social Responsibility,” was co-edited by Dr. Marybeth Miller, former chair of SBU’s Department of Physical Education, and Jim Nendel. The publisher is Jones and Bartlett Publishers of Boston.
Read part of the Introduction:
… The perspective of this chapter for blending social responsibility and justice articulates the pedagogy of Dr. Paula Scraba, a physical educator and a Franciscan. Drawing on her work with indigenous peoples in Central and South America and various service trips with students from two Franciscan Universities, Dr. Scraba attempts to reconcile her theology with her practice as a physical educator. Dr. Scraba will provide a more contemporary theological framework, based on the teachings of St. Francis, that informs her critical pedagogy when teaching in the borderlands of Native America or in service projects with students in marginalized areas in the Midwest, Southwest and east Coast of the United States. This chapter is a call to service in the attitude of peace, on behalf of social justice, and with a deep and abiding respect for the integrity of all creation. The service programs involved physical educators engaged in University-sponsored service-learning programs integrating students across disciplines.
In addition, Scraba was named the 2009-2010 Professional of the Year in Higher Education by Global networking Cambridge Who’s Who of executives, professionals and entrepreneurs. The selection was based upon personal achievements within the profession, exemplary leadership skills and personal commitment and dedication to altruistic endeavors to such programs as Special Olympics, international service programs and mentoring students in and outside the classroom.
