Service-learning, the integration of community service with
academic course work, is a promising strategy for enhancing
learning and developing active democratic citizens. This book
responds to the many recent calls for youth involvement in service
as part of the public school curriculum. While service- learning
holds many benefits for students, teachers, and communities, there
are also many challenges to effectively incorporatie it into the
curriculum.
Each of the book's four parts provides a different scope and
purpose. Part 1 addresses the components of quality
service-learning programs; Part 2 introduces diverse models of
service-learning programs at the elementary, middle, and high
school levels; Part 3 allows students, agency members, and
administrators to tell their own stories of service-learning
involvement, to discuss issues with other individuals who share
their roles, and to offer recommendations for effective action; and
Part 4 asks readers to consider the future of service-learning in
public schooling.
Community Service-Learning is a comprehensive resource that will
be valuable for all those involved with K-12 service-learning
programs: administrators, classroom teachers, students, program
coordinators, and university teacher education programs.
