20 Exemplary Service-Learning Projects: Chicago Public Schools Service-Learning Initiative

This book is a compilation of imaginative, rigorous, engaging projects that engage community partners, connect deeply with classroom curriculum, and involve student voice in the preparation and implementation of the projects. The projects represent every curricular area and several are cross-curricular, demonstrating that service-learning is a great connecting strategy. Service-learning connects students with their communities, connects classroom learning with contemporary community issues, and connects academic disciplines in creative, organic ways. (authors)
