Popis: Edited by Robert Shumer from the University of Minnesota, Where’s the Wisdom in Service-Learning? highlights the experiences, insights, and opinions of a diverse group of authors and practitioner-scholars linked historically by service-learning. Rather than focusing solely on the beginnings or roots of service-learning—defined as “the accomplishment of tasks that meet genuine human needs in combination with conscious educational growth” (Stanton, Giles, & Cruz, 1999, p. 2)—this volume expounds upon the concept by including not only the unique wisdom of its authors, but also their equally important recommendations for future efforts aligned with service-learning. Comprising 12 chapters, the work intricately and effectively weaves diverse personal stories and experiences with foundational knowledge related to service-learning.
