The Complete Guide to Service Learning: Proven, Practical Ways to Engage Students in Civic Responsibility, Academic Curriculum, & Social Action (Free Spirit Professional®) Second Edition, Revised, Book with Digital Content

I purchased this book for participation in a book club. The book provides an introduction to service-learning and an explanation of the book and how to utilize the chapters. Each chapter focuses on a specific project with activities, project ideas, a curricular map, and books to read for K-12 students. Service-learning connects academic skills to transition skills to community experiences. Great resource!

It was very comprehensive; covered many situations and different groups of people; have sent a copy with visitors from Moldova who are working to develop leadership in their citizens - especially young people..

This is a good foundational resource. It is a bit limited in theoretical context and depth, however has some great ideas for getting started. There are also some very nice templates for facilitating planning, thoughtful writing/processing, and reflecting for students which is an essential component of service learning.

If you don't understand the skills development and academic growth that is basic to real service lerning, this book explains it and walks you thru every step of the six step process. An excellent resource!

I thought it would be more beneficial. I guess the e-resources will make up for it.

This book has been so helpful to give me a kick start in integrating service learning in my high school classroom. The ideas are laid out clearly and there are so many helpful examples.

The book is great but I am missing the cd rom that was suppose to come with it. Most of the activities that I want are included on this CD. If I go to the website it does not have everything I need.

The book is very helpful with lots of descriptions, examples, and so forth. The templates are excellent. I have recommended this book to a number of people.
