Read this: (1) Service-learning: A balanced approach to experiential education; (2) Research on K-12 school-based service learning; (3) Middle school service learning project examples; (4) Integrating youth voice in service learning, (5) democratic aims of service learning; (6) beginner resources, and; (7) the service learning cycle.

Consider these questions as you read (same questions in WebCT):

  1. What are the major problems or issues at play here? What should teachers be trying to overcome, fix, or do as a result of these issues? What experiences or stories can you share about these issues or challenges? What do you think can be done in terms of teaching, learning, and curriculum given these issues? Use this opportunity to discuss some ideas before jumping into your curricular solutions assignment described in the syllabus.

No extra reading. Review the materials above, discuss the questions in WebCT, and complete the curricular solutions assignment described in the syllabus.

You may want to send some time investigating the National Service Learning Clearinghouse as well.
