Find out how to get students truly engaged in their learning in The SAGE Sourcebook of Service-Learning and Civic Engagement

Los Angeles, Classroom instruction, lectures, and textbook study are all important, but long-term, engaged learning truly happens when the theoretical is combined with hands-on application. That’s why service-learning and civic engagement can be such an important part of a well-rounded education. What’s the best way to incorporate community-engaged learning into the curriculum? The SAGE Sourcebook of Service-Learning and Civic Engagement is a new reference source that provides the theoretical and practical models, guides, ideas, and resources that can be immediately adapted, adopted, and used.
