 A Complete Guider July 13, 2009
JJ Evans (Winthrop Hbr., IL USA)
When I bought this book I had hoped for more insight into the impact of service learning. Although there is some rationale for service learning in this book, it is mostly a guide book to help one develop the service learning experience. The greatest part of this book is the suggested literature to combine with the service learning project. Great for all ages!

The Complete Guide To Service Learning has changed the way we do things at my elementary school. As an elementary school principal in my district, it is important that we implement the 40 Developmental Assets framework. I don't see a better way to implement the 40 Assets framework than to do it with service learning. Service learning is known as a gateway asset, and it seems much more efficient to focus on this instructional concept to build as many Assets as possible. The transformation of the "Canned Food Drive" discussed in this book is a terrific story to discuss with staff when implementing service learning for the first time. The story as well as the book is both inspiring and informational.

I ordered this book along with 2 others and not only did I not receive the book, but I never received a response to multiple emails I sent to find out what may have happened. Luckily Amazon is great with fast and efficient refunds so I have been refunded my money through the help of Amazon! Very disappointed customer!

As a first-year Service Learning teacher, I find this product essential to understanding what Service Learning is all about. Plenty of concrete project ideas, book resources, and activities are in easy reach for teachers and students.
Easy to Use. Terrific resource! June 28, 2007

I am an elementary school guidance counselor who wanted to create a service learning program in my school, but wasn't sure how to get it off the ground. This book not only offers service learning project ideas, but also how to tie them to curriculum. It also suggests different fiction and non-fiction literature on the subject by grade level!!!
