Cemetery Preservation: A Replication Guide for School-Based Service-Learning

This is a replication guide for schools that are implementing a service-learning program. A program to restore and preserve a historic cemetery is described, there is a timeline of activities for administrators, and a collection of lesson plans with activity and form templates to replicate in a program. All programs meet the seven best practices of school-based service-learning and the standards for credit-bearing service-learning in Massachusetts. All programs are replicable and modifiable to different grade and ability levels. Each program is an example of service-learning that is infused into the curriculum over a sustained period of time and provides teachers with an opportunity to integrate performance-based assessment, Dimensions of Service, and other education reform initiatives with service to the community and citizenship education.
