Living Democracy: Service-Learning Linked with History and Civics
For four years (2003 to 2007), KIDS Consortium was privileged to work with the Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island Departments of Education and Professor Marcus Bruce of Bates College of Lewiston, Maine, on a special project designed to help middle and high school social studies teachers integrate service-learning into their history and civics classes. The initiative engaged thousands of students in extraordinary projects and provided participating educators with rich and rewarding professional development opportunities around the New England region. These experiences were possible by a generous grant from the Learn and Serve America Program of the Corporation for National and Community Service.
