Gent (special education, Clarion U. of Pennsylvania) explains how to integrate service learning into the K-12 classroom, as a way to differentiate instruction and promote inclusion of all students. She describes the history of service-learning and its rationale, and how to combine standards-based instruction with giving back to the community, including preparation, identifying community needs, planning and implementing activities, using it to teach critical thinking and reflection, documenting the effects on students and the community, recognizing contributions, and sustaining the learning.
