Review Quotes:
"With an intimate portrayal of her service learning experience, elementary teacher and teacher educator Katy Farber provides a hands-on guide for other teachers to take the plunge into service/project based learning. Her extensive practice and research allows for an up-to-date understanding of service/project based learning, so that teachers can engage students from grades 3-12 at the classroom, school and community level. As a teacher educator, I find this guide invaluable for introducing service/project based learning to my pre-service and practicing teachers." --James Nagle, Associate Professor, Saint Michael's College; Co-Director, Middle Grades Collaborative
