HOW DO CATEGORIES SUPPORT THE FUNCTION OF POWER?
The six core categories of strategies which support those
who have the power and authority to make decisions
about how service-learning will operate in the school,
district, or state educational system form the inner circle
in the diagram to the right.
Each of these six categories is then best supported by two
other categories. For example, the development of servicelearning
policy directly benefits from service-learning
being part of the educational mission of the institution,
and the development of such a mission rests in part on
how future teachers are prepared to enter this profession.
Those who are encouraged in college to see the
educational value of service are likely to believe that
service should be part of a school and district educational
philosophy.

Each of the six core categories around the issue of power may depend primarily on the two categories in the outer edges of the diagram, but they also support
and are supported by many other categories.
