Service-learning, the integration of classroom instruction with
community service projects, is rapidly gaining momentum as a
successful teaching and learning strategy that benefits both
students and their communities. Quick Hits for Service-Learning
presents more than 80 examples of innovative curricula, developed
by educators in a wide range of disciplines, designed to combine
community service with instruction and reflection. Seven chapters
offer tips for classroom activities that focus on the education
of children and youth; civic awareness, engagement, and activism;
language, literature, and communication; global studies and local
outreach to exceptional populations; the study of history, the
social sciences, and the arts; business, industry, and the health
sciences; and the teaching of research and other "tools of the
trade." Brimming with ideas that busy faculty members can easily
adapt to their own classrooms, this book is a valuable reference
for faculty new to the field or seasoned practitioners looking
for fresh ideas.
