Service-Learning
Service-LearningService-Learning is defined as a teaching tool by which students use what they are learning in class to perform service that meets a genuine need in their school, local or global community. The service-learning activities strengthen students’ understanding of their academic studies, provide opportunities for additional formal learning, and foster a sense of responsibility and active citizenship. Service-learning should have clear connections to standards and benchmarks. Community Service is defined as voluntary, unpaid service that addresses a genuine need in the school, local or global community. There is no intentional tie to formal, academic learning; the emphasis is strictly on the service. AnnouncementsThe new DPI Service-Learning Implementation Guide is here! The guide, "High Quality Instruction that Transforms: A Guide for Implementing Quality Academic Service-Learning," provides the step by step process to creating a high quality service-learning experience as well as resources and teacher and student worksheets. Printed copies will be made available in mid-May, but you can also download a copy from the DPI website: KUSD Service-Learning Handbook
