{"product_id":"the-unheard-voices-community-organizations-and-service-learning","title":"The Unheard Voices: Community Organizations and Service Learning","description":"Service learning has become an institutionalized practice in higher education. Students are sent out to disadvantaged communities to paint, tutor, feed, and help organize communities. But while the students gain from their experiences, the contributors to The Unheard Voices ask, \"Does the community?\"\nThis volume explores the impact of service learning on a community, and considers the unequal relationship between the community and the academy. Using eye-opening interviews with community-organization staff members, The Unheard Voices challenges assumptions about the effectiveness of service learning. Chapters offer strong critiques of service learning practices from the lack of adequate training and supervision, to problems of communication and issues of diversity. The book's conclusion offers ways to improve service learning so that future endeavors can be better at meeting the needs of the communities and the students who work in them.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1592139957\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1592139957.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stoecker, Randy|Tryon, Elizabeth A.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
