Learning Service: Reading Service as Text
Unformatted Document Text:  I aim to shift the audience’s thinking from service learning to learning service, pushing participants to consider what it means to teach service itself. I want them to read examples of service and to consider what effect each can have on students and their world. I hope to unsettle assumptions that there is one best kind of service and extant best practices for service. Methods I will present a summary of the paper, as usual practice. But, I will provide service cases for the audience to consider, inviting them to “read” critically for issues of culture, empowerment, and partnership. I will ask the audience to consider service as quintessentially public oriented, urging them to strategize about service as a means to kindle community connections to schools.

I aim to shift the audience’s thinking from service learning to learning service, pushing
participants to consider what it means to teach service itself. I want them to read examples of
service and to consider what effect each can have on students and their world. I hope to unsettle
assumptions that there is one best kind of service and extant best practices for service.
Methods
I will present a summary of the paper, as usual practice. But, I will provide service cases for the
audience to consider, inviting them to “read” critically for issues of culture, empowerment, and
partnership. I will ask the audience to consider service as quintessentially public oriented, urging
them to strategize about service as a means to kindle community connections to schools.
