Jacoby (director, office of Commuter Affairs and Community Service Programs; U. of Maryland, College Park) leads 16 associates in an overview and how-to guide to linking community service with specific learning and development outcomes. In the spirit of John Dewey and other experiential learning advocates, they address: the foundations and principles of service-learning; designing diverse service-learning experiences (inter/national experiences, summer and alternative breaks); and organizational, administrative, and policy issues (e.g. integrating service-learning into the curriculum). Includes resources for college and post-college service options. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
