Linking Service Learning And Standards
In 2000, Florida Learn & Serve began compiling information showing linkages between service learning and the Sunshine State Standards. Local practitioners and trainers examined existing documents from Kentucky , Wisconsin , South Carolina , and Vermont , and made recommendations for a product that encompassed three key areas:
Detailed profiles of effective service-learning projects across subjects and grade levels, with lists of the key standards that those projects addressed.
A table listing the standards, with ideas/suggestions of service-learning activities that match each standard.
A table listing the standards, the elements of service learning, and identifying which standards are addressed under each element/aspect of an effective service-learning project.
