Abstract: This empirical article offers a practical framework to complement Sandmann's integrated theoretical model for advancing the praxis of engaged scholarship in higher education institutions. The article introduces a newly developed integrated service-learning praxis (ISLP) approach, which served as a research context for constructing the practical framework. The ISLP approach combines community-engaged service-learning as pedagogy, appreciative inquiry as a research-and-change model, and the strategies of appreciative leadership to deliver praxis. Through a qualitative action research design, six international community-engaged service-learning champions participated in an appreciative inquiry to coconstruct the practical framework. They drew on their reflective practice and expertise within a study grounded in generative and social constructionist theories. The resulting practical framework includes actions to advance the careers of future engaged scholars and to guide the institutionalization of engaged scholarship.
