Course Description
Service learning is growing in use among faculty at all levels and in all disciplines and is now a graduation requirement in many school districts, colleges, and states (including Philadelphia and Temple’s Teacher Preparation program).  This growth is accompanied by a healthy debate about the purposes of service learning, the ways it should be linked to a curriculum, how and what participants learn from it, how it should relate to the community, who benefits from it, and how.
