Portland Education Partnership Launches Service Learning Website
The Portland Education Partnership has created a web page that offers students, educators and community members information about how to become involved in service learning in Portland. Service learning is a teaching strategy that connects classroom instruction with community service experiences. The web page includes ideas and resources for implementing service learning in the classroom as well as examples of successful service learning projects done by Portland students and teachers.
The web page was funded by LL Bean and completed through the work of VISTA volunteers. To visit the site, go to the service-learning link on the community page of the Portland schools website, www.portlandschools.org. For more information, please contact David Wurm at 874-8236 or wurmd at portlandschools.org.
The Portland Education Partnership is a nonprofit organization that enriches student learning and builds support for Portland public schools by promoting opportunities for parent, business and community involvement.
