HOW DO YOU DO IT?
Popular wisdom says that the important attributes of service-learning are:
• genuine community need
• community partnerships
• preparation
• structured reflection
• clear connection to the curriculum
• student voice.
Your project should be structured to include all of these attributes. With that in mind, let's consider how to go about it.
Generally speaking, there are three stages to a successful service learning project. They are:
1. Preparation
2. Action
3. Reflection
Each of these stages is an essential part of the service learning experience.
The next few pages will look into each of these stages in detail.
