"Service-learning has been successfully used to enhance students’ understanding of motivation theory, authentic assessment, the meaning of active citizenship, interdisciplinary units, and cooperative learning. It can also be effective in influencing preservice teachers’ awareness of multicultural issues, individual differences, and the realities of issues of educational reform and collaboration." 1
