Recently I sat down with Julie Rickel, Community Service-Learning Director at L’Anse Creuse Public Schools to ask her how service-learning is sustainable in her school district. I even caught it on video! Be sure to watch it to learn how a former grantee (who started to receive funding in ’93!) has continued with service-learning.
Hats off to L'Anse Creuse Public Schools! Very interesting points that Julie makes regarding what is sustaining s-l in the district: professional development, collaboration among content areas, supportive staff and administration and students valuing genuine opportunities.
