A Roadmap to Service Learning in Catholic Schools
Walsh, Teresa; Spells, Denise
National Catholic Educational Association
Catholic schools serve both the family, community and society by educating children, young people and adults to contribute to the common good by becoming active and caring members of the communities, cities, and nation in which they live. Service is an important part of Catholic school tents and it helps students equate the relevance of living the gospel mission to their own education and lives. While the positive effects of service learning on the academic and social emotional growth of learners has been well established by researchers, this book explores how service learning can enhance and support the specific mission of Catholic education and how service learning is explicitly tied to a school's Catholic identity.
