Abstract
Service Learning has the potential to help students grow and develop personally in several areas. However, documenting its effectiveness has been a slower process than documenting its practice. The challenge is finding effective ways to demonstrate the impact. Practitioners in the field and Decision-Makers outside the field of service learning have called for more rigorous evidence. The authors have developed an evaluation tool to measure the impact of service learning on student development.
