Growing to Greatness 2009 explores the state of K-12 service-learning in the United States. This year's edition focuses on three themes: (1) indicators of youth contribution and the prevalence of community service and service-learning; (2) service-learning as a strategy for improving city schools; and (3) profiles of service-learning policy and history in 27 states, from Mississippi to Wyoming. It is a critical publication for school administrators, graduate students of education or public policy, and teachers involved in "making the case" for service-learning to school boards. (136 pages. Paperback. 2009)
