- What is Service-Learning?
-
It’s a teaching strategy through which students apply what they’re learning in school to identify, research and address community needs.
- Why Do It?
-
Because it enhances learning, builds character, and develops a sense of civic responsibility while improving schools and strengthening communities.
- How Do I Do It?
-
Students can research local needs, agree on a project, develop a plan and go! Teachers can link the project to the curriculum and help students learn from their work.
- Community Service vs. Service-Learning
-
Unlike community service, service-learning is directly related to classroom studies. It’s about serving AND learning.
