Service-Learning and Educating in Challenging Contexts - International Perspectives (Hardcover, New)

This title explores best practice for engagement with challenging educational contexts through service-learning drawing on the contributors' international experience. "Service-Learning and Educating in Challenging Contexts" explores the potential of service-learning identified as a way to integrate community service with academic study to enrich the on-going professional development of educators, especially in schools that are located in challenging contexts. This collection offers a further refinement of what typically comes under the remit of service-learning, switching the focus from the learning experience of the learner, to the educator and the deep and enriching professional learning opportunities that service-learning can offer. This approach to service-learning promotes collaborative practices amongst professional and in-service educators, and encourages an integration of theory and practice. The international contributors use their own experiences as well as current research to provide a thorough exploration of service-learning from national and international perspectives.
