  2. Service Learning • Service Learning is a method of teaching through which students apply their academic skills and knowledge to address real-life needs in their own communities. • Service Learning provides: • a compelling reason to learn, • teaches the skills of civic participation • develops an ethic of service and civic responsibility • Service learning increases motivation and retention of academic skills as specific learning goals are tied to community needs. • By solving real problems and addressing real needs, students learn to apply classroom learning to a real world context. At the same time, students provide valuable services to schools and communities. http://www.newhorizons.org/strategies/service_learning/front_service.htm
