Overview
This unique workbook puts students in control by providing guidance through the process of planning, implementing, and evaluating service-learning projects. Service Learning for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation: A Step-by-Step Guide directs university and high school students through an easy-to-follow five-step process for completing service-learning projects.

Service Learning for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation highlights the skills students will need for a project as well as strategies for preventing common problems and dealing constructively with difficulties. Students learn how to work as a team, present themselves as professionals, and master the challenges of a variety of service-learning projects.

-Tools, tips, and techniques that enable students to navigate the complexities of their projects
-Reflection activities, journal assignments, and student checklists to help establish and maintain progress
-Instructions for designing a needs assessment and evaluation survey
-Icebreakers and group activities that will help build group cohesiveness
In addition to the student resources, there is also an online teacher resource guide to assist teachers in supporting their students through each step in the process.
The result of the author's own experiences in conducting complex service-learning projects, Service Learning for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation presents a practical and proven process that ensures both successful projects and student-centered service learning.
Connecting to their communities through service-learning projects teaches students invaluable hands-on lessons and creates new volunteer and community development opportunities.
