A national study of
Learn and Serve
America programs suggests that effective
service-learning programs improve academic grades,
increase attendance in school, and develop personal and
social responsibility. Whether the goal is academic
improvement, personal development, or both, students can
learn:
 |
critical thinking |
|
|
communication |
|
|
teamwork |
|
|
civic responsibility |
|
|
mathematical reasoning |
|
|
problem solving |
|
|
public speaking |
|
|
vocational skills |
|
|
computer skills |
|
|
scientific method |
|
|
research and analysis skills |
|
|
|
If your school has not yet developed a service-learning curriculum,
now is the time. Learn and Serve
America, one of the programs of the Corporation for
National and Community Service, has developed a number
of resources to make it easy.
Students in Service to
America (SISTA) is a great resource, providing access to
ideas, toolkits, and curriculum sources.
