Praise for SERVICE-LEARNING ESSENTIALS

"With Service-Learning Essentials, we finally have a book that can serve as a one-stop resource for all of us in higher education—faculty, student affairs professionals, administrators, students—who seek to understand, implement, improve, or critique the practice and promise of service-learning. And with Barbara Jacoby, we have someone uniquely capable of delivering such a rich and timely resource."

"Service Learning Essentials: Questions, Answers, and Lessons Learned is an essential work that will assist administrators, faculty, students, and community members in meeting the ever-growing need to bridge higher education with community. Finally, this is a work that connects theory to practice with implementation that is effective, accessible, and measureable. This is a must for every institution and individual who understands the importance of impactful service-learning."
—Devorah A. Lieberman, president, University of La Verne

"Service-learning, designed as part of academic credit-bearing courses, continues to out-trump all other high impact practices in its comprehensive spectrum of positive outcomes for students. Barbara Jacoby's book explains why, and more importantly, draws on her deep expertise to advise readers how to maintain service-learning's high octane performance."
