teachers talking to other teachers; that’s a real pleasure. It not only
offers the products of shared work and reflection among teachers, it
models it. The Workbook’s message in the medium is: You can do this too.”

Using
this Book
Connecting
Service-Learning to the Curriculum is ideal for district and
program training events, and as an educator's planning and evaluation
resource. It is also an excellent teaching tool with older students (grades
9-16)
Overview of the Book
The book is composed of six sections. An introduction gives a rationale and
road map for its use. Section
II contains a brief history and overview of
service-learning, defines service-learning terminology, and describes best
practices for service-learning, at both the site and instructional level. Section III
provides a engaging introduction to education for sustainability (EFS) and
rationale for using sustainability as an umbrella goal for
service-learning. This section provides best practices for incorporating
EFS in the classroom and at the site level. Section IV, “From Experience: Service
Learning in Action,” provides twelve case studies of service projects
planned and implemented by elementary, middle, high school, and university
students. Some of these case studies offer formal descriptions of programs
and activities; others are more reflective in nature. Section five provides
assessment tools. Section
V contains instructional and site level guides.

"Fabulous tools
and tips!”

 Guides for Classroom, Program, and
Schoolwide Planning
The last section includes two distinct detailed planning and evaluation
guides (for site and instructional level) as well as completed examples of
these guides. Also included is a helpful project example form that can be
used as a documentation and sharing tool. The guides in the book have been
used and refined for more than a decade by K-16 participants at CWI's
nationally acclaimed Institute on Service-Learning.
“The planning guides contained in Connecting Service-Learning
helped our sub-grantees (teachers and administrators) see into their own
world....and then helped for them to communicate to us more about their
real world....By the time we finished, they understood their own successes
and challenges much better, and felt the originally begrudged time was well
spent, insightful and productive—that they were the better for it….what you
have done for the service-learning community you may never be adequately
rewarded for, but we thank you.”
Kurt Parks, Coordinator
