This file contains data from a 1999 quick-response survey, "National Student Service-Learning and Community Service Survey" (FRSS 71). The survey was sent to principals at elementary and secondary public schools, who passed it along to the school official most knowledgeable about the types of programs in question. These officials were asked about policies, support, and funding for their school’s community service and service learning programs. Questions covered rates of student participation, presence of school policies requiring participation, reasons that schools encourage involvement, level of integration of service learning into the curriculum, program staffing, types of service-learning available to students, availability of support and professional development for teachers, presence of service-learning project evaluation measures, and sources of funding. |

| NCES 1999043 | Service-Learning and Community Service in K-12 Public Schools
Service-learning, discussed here in terms of incorporating community service experiences into students' school work, has long been viewed as a positive education reform option. Beginning in the 1970s, educators began paying more attention to this teaching option and the 1990s saw an array of initiatives to help promote the practice. To determine how extensive the practice is, NCES conducted the first national-level study of service-learning in America's K-12 public schools in the spring of 1999. Analysis of this study reveals a number of interesting results including the fact that roughly one-third of these schools have incorporated service-learning to some extent and that most of the schools that have service-learning provide teachers some sort of support to help them integrate service into their curriculum. |
