Service Learning Service-Learning is a teaching methodology that combines the K-16 curriculum with service to the community. Senator John Glenn, Chair of the National Commission on Service-Learning explains, "Service-Learning is unique because it enables teachers to improve students’ academic performance, sense of civic responsibility, self-confidence, and workplace skills with a single teaching method. It links classroom lessons with real-life learning.” What is Service Learning?
