Abstract	This booklet, which is addressed to school administrators, examines the principles of service learning as a way of teaching rather than just another program and explains how administrators can customize service learning to the unique characteristics of their own schools and communities. The booklet begins by defining service learning as a delivery system that can be used as a central organizing principle for helping students achieve personal and social growth and prepare for the world of work and citizenship while achieving the school's curricular goals. Discussed in a section devoted to administrative issues are the following topics: the special problems of scheduling service learning in secondary schools; options for reducing transportation costs associated with service learning; funding opportunities; and liability concerns and risk management strategies. The following educational issues are considered: professional development; ways of integrating service learning into the curriculum; student assessment in classroom and nonclassroom settings; and program evaluation. Examined in a section on support issues are the following topics: building an infrastructure, public relations, and community support and involvement. Concluding the guide are brief descriptions of the services provided by three national organizations: the National Service-Learning Cooperative/Clearinghouse, Corporation for National Service, and National Dropout Prevention Center.
