Product Description:
This innovative curriculum provides educators and youth workers with a new tool for engaging all elementary-age learners in service learning. Its research-based activities guide instructors in helping children with and without disabilities become partners in planning and carrying out service learning projects, while teaching social and life skills to children of all abilities, meeting education standards in a variety of academic areas, and challenging stereotypes about young people with disabilities. It was developed by a partnership of the Institute on Community Integration, and the National Inclusion Project, an organization working to bridge the gap that exists between young people with disabilities and the world around them, and create awareness about the possibilities that inclusion can bring.
