Critical Service Learning Toolkit offers a strengths-based,
interdisciplinary approach to promoting social competence while
enhancing emotional and academic skill development. Designed as a
user-friendly guide to carrying out successful CSL projects, this
Toolkit provides practitioners with step-by-step assistance in
planning, implementing, and evaluating Critical Service Learning
(CSL) projects in elementary and high schools. CSL trains youth to
become active and conscientious citizens through engagement and
leadership experiences that meet real needs in the community. This
approach is unique in that it places the youth/student at the
center of the process. Prioritizing social and emotional learning
(SEL) and school engagement, CSL changes the role of the
school-based, counseling professional into that of a facilitator
who encourages skill-building, reflection, and civic engagement.
Cultivating self-awareness, social-consciousness, and
critical-thinking skills, brainstorming and community web mapping
activities serve as the cornerstone of CSL and allow youth to
become comfortable articulating concerns about their communities.
By extending learning beyond the classroom and into the community,
CSL enhances what is taught throughout the school curriculum, at
all levels, and fosters a sense of civic responsibility and social
agency.
