- This web resource consists of various impacts of service-learning on participating k-12 schools. It was very interesting to see how the projects helped various state mandated assessments. In addition, the reflection component was primarily the most important component of the projects because it allowed the students to link together all of their information. The studies really demonstrated the positive results of academic achievement through service-learning. Overall, these studies showed the affirmative impacts on student behaviors, the acceptance of diversity, connection to various cultures, civic engagement, and development of ethics. The conclusion was that through service-learning students will develop caring, altruism, and other social emotional learning.
