Service-Learning Projects and their Alignment With Professional Dispositions of Learners

One of the benefits of teaching for social justice is that teachers and their students can get involved in service-learning as a way to learn the curriculum while also addressing real-life problems that face local communities. Extending learning beyond the classroom can lead to increased retention and allows students to practice their critical thinking skills.
After analyzing “What the Heck is Service Learning?” research other service-learning opportunities for K-12 students that promote cultural knowledge and the principles of social justice.
Using the “Service-Learning Ideas Template,” submit a list of five potential service-learning projects for K-12 students.
While APA style format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You need a brief description of each service-learning project (50-100 words).
You need to list the state standard you would use when integrating the project into the classroom - either Arizona Standards which can be found on the Arizona Department of Education Website or your own State's website (Washington) (include the standard verbiage and the standard code).
In a sentence or two, you need to state how each service-learning project aligns with the Professional Dispositions of Learners.
Please be sure to review the assignment to ensure all required components have been included before submitting your assignment for assessment.
