Site provides information on 21st Century Community Learning Centers, which provide service learning opportunities for students.

Site addresses service learning as a form of work-based learning (WBL)--an educational strategy that provides students with real-life work experiences where they can apply academic and technical skills and develop employability skills.

Site provides information on AIM--a program designed to enhance graduation and academic achievement for middle and high school migrant youth before they become at risk of dropping out of school--which includes a service learning component.

(b) In addition to the instruction under subsection (a) of this section, local boards of education are encouraged to include instruction on the following responsibilities:

• (1)  Respect for school personnel. -- In the school environment, respect includes holding teachers, school administrators, and all school personnel in high esteem and demonstrating in words and deeds that all school personnel deserve to be treated with courtesy and proper deference.
• (2)  Responsibility for school safety. -- Helping to create a harmonious school atmosphere that is free from threats, weapons, and violent or disruptive behavior; cultivating an orderly learning environment in which students and school personnel feel safe and secure; and encouraging the resolution of conflicts and disagreements through peaceful means, including peer mediation. Instruction in this responsibility should include a consistent and age-appropriate antiviolence message and a conflict resolution component for students in kindergarten through grade 12. These messages should include media-awareness education to help children recognize stereotypes and messages portraying violence.
• (3)  Service to others. -- Engaging in meaningful service to their schools and their communities. Schools may teach service-learning by (i) incorporating it into their standard curriculum or (ii) involving a classroom of students or some other group of students in one or more hands-on community service projects. All schools are encouraged to provide opportunities for student involvement in community service or service-learning projects.
