| Abstract: | Service-learning gives school administrators a powerful tool to achieve some of their most important goals: educating students to high levels, connecting with the community, and preparing students to be active participants in the world around them. This issue paper examines why administrators support service-learning as a key element in school improvement, what questions they may need to address, and how administrators can support and strengthen service-learning in their schools. Includes definitions, research results, anecdotes, and strategies. Contains 12 references and 15 resources. (BT) |
