THE
COMPLETE GUIDE TO SERVICE LEARNING - BOOK with
CD-ROM
Proven, Practical Ways to Engage Students in Civic Responsibility, Academic Curriculum, & Social Action
- Second Edition
By Cathryn Berger Kaye, M.A.
Revised and updated, The Complete Guide to Service Learning Second Edition brings you even more information, and a wealth of practical activities, ideas, resources, and more to encourage service learning in K-12 and higher education.
Research and practical experience with this pedagogy is increasingly demonstrating that service learning is good for the individual and the community. Students who are active in service learning develop as successful in school and life, build and strengthen important transferable skills, gain and apply academic knowledge, and experience intrinsic competence and confidence. Communities benefit when youth are active, engaged, and contributing members. Service learning brings head and heart together and develops both at the same time. A win-win formula for all!
This comprehensive guide is for anyone who cares about service learning: teachers who teach it, officials who mandate it, youth leaders who facilitate it, and youth who participate and ultimately gain the abilities to lead the way. Highly recommended for teacher education, faculty use this book as a class text to prepare students for the classroom. Open anywhere to find motivation, supporting facts or examples, or useful resources. Or start at the beginning to get the big picture. Drawing on years as a classroom teacher and service learning program developer and trainer—on local, state, national, and internationally—Cathryn tells you everything you want and need to know about service learning.
