	Hot Topics highlight recommended resource items, both online and in the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse library, on important service-learning related subjects. Reflection describes the process of deriving meaning and knowledge from experience and occurs before, during and after a service-learning project. Effective reflection engages both service-learning leaders and participants in a thoughtful and thought-provoking process that consciously connects learning with experience. It is the use of critical thinking skills to prepare for and learn from service experiences. September 2004 (Updated June 2007)
