Linking Federal Programs and Service Learning

Is your school thinking about instituting service-learning programs, or trying to find ways to improve the existing curriculum? IASA (Improving America's Schools Act of 1994) funded programs not only bring more stable funding and staffing, but they can re-energize the learning process in a meaningful context: the community where students live. This in-depth guide to researching, implementing, and analyzing your service-learning curriculum will take you through each step of the process. Includes examples of activities, guidelines for planning, operations, and evaluations, and names of resources, as well as questions at the conclusion of each chapter to help you apply the information to your unique situation.
