Assessment
There are many careful and protracted observations to be made about how the current system operates, which is essential to
initiate progress towards the systemic integration of service-learning. Generally, there are four major elements to elucidate:
(1) People (teachers, students, administrators, parents, community members, funders)
Important questions:
(a) Who has the power to determine if and how service-learning is used?
(b) Who is skilled at and provides leadership in service-learning, and how have they been involved?
(c) How do teachers and students perceive experiential and service-learning?
(d) What kinds of public and community involvement exist for the schools?
