Heads, Hearts, and Hands: the Research on K-12 Service-learning Definitions of Service-learning

If you were going on a weight loss diet, as so many of us have, you would ask a few hard questions about any program that a friend or physician asked you to try. First, you would want to know what the diet is (“Atkins? South Beach? What’s that?”) Next, you would want to know if it works (“How much weight have people lost on that diet? Really?!”) Finally, you might ask, what do I need to do to make it work best? – Or perhaps, how do I know it will work for me? (e.g., “I don’t like some of these foods. What should I do?” “But what if I’m traveling? Then what do I do?” or “I don’t eat meat. What about me?”) There are probably lots of other questions you might ask, but these are most likely the big three.
