Nice attention for service-learning: coverage in this month's ASCD Educational Leadership

Dear colleagues,

I just got done checking out this month's Educational Leadership from ASCD and was excited to see that it gave some cool (and well-deserved) attention to service-learning! Service-learning is front and center in two articles in this special issue on Teaching Social Responsibility!

You can check out the short article, "Service Learning and Civic Participation" at

http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational_leadership/may09/vol66/num08/Service_Learning_and_Civic_Participation.aspx

And "A Culture of Service Learning" at

http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational_leadership/may09/vol66/num08/A_Culture_of_Service_Learning.aspx

And the whole issue is worth a read so see the table of contents at

http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational_leadership/current_issue.aspx

Enjoy!
