Abstract
This service learning research describes changes in teacher education students' attitudes and social justice concerns as they worked with children and families in government-subsidized housing. This research is unique because the participating students generally came from the same low-income, Latino, Spanish-speaking background as those they served in the community. Yet, their assumptions and attitudes changed as a result of participation in service learning. Examining and reconstructing their attitudes about the children's cognitive abilities and the families' levels of academic concern resulted in developing social consciousness.
