Youth Engagement Through Schools: Community Service Learning
|
This page lists several web-based resources that describe, explain and promote community service learning. Schools are increasingly promoting this activity which requires or encourages students to participate in volunteer service within their communities while integrating these experiences within a formal academic program. In successful programs, the emphasis is on both the service and the learning components.
Readers can also refer to other pages on teaching and instructional strategies to engage students through active/cooperative learning, project-based learning and online learning.
