- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about service learning in Georgia. Service learning is a method of teaching and learning that helps students to learn academic content and skills by planning and participating in community service activities. Service learning is often confused with volunteering, community service, charity, good deeds, or field experiences. However, the emphasis in service learning is on the learning of content and skills that are consistent with state academic curricula, like Georgia's Performance Standards (GPS), while addressing real community needs. For this reason, service learning is sometimes called, more descriptively, academic service learning.
