商品簡介
The authors of this book are a middle school librarian and a family and consumer science teacher. For the past ten years, the two have coordinated a community service day at their school. This guide lays out that same process using task lists, worksheets, sample letters, and activities, for educators hoping to implement day-long or ongoing service learning projects. Coverage includes researching and contacting agencies, choosing student and faculty leaders, soliciting chaperones, arranging transportation, and publicizing the project. One chapter contains ten lessons for student preparedness, which include a discussion of the behavioral expectations of volunteers, and activities involving interviewing a volunteer and designing a logo. The following chapters contain materials for executing projects both in the community and in the school, activities for follow-up education, and advice for planning for the next year.
