Enriching the Curriculum through Service Learning

In this practical guide to service-learning, 21 contributors describe specific service-learning projects that have enhanced the curriculum in schools across the United States and that have improved student learning in the process. In the foreword, U.S. Secretary of Education, Richard W. Riley, encourages schools to incorporate service-learning into the curriculum. From literature to social studies to vocational education courses, students make learning real as they participate in conflict resolution programs, peer tutoring, partnerships with children with disabilities, quiltmaking, AIDS education, oral histories of elder citizens, and other projects.
