Dear Service-Learning Colleagues,

Questions about service-learning evaluation are frequently posted on this
listserv. "Methods and Strategies for Assessing Service-Learning in
the Health Professions" is a 75-page report based on the methods and
tools used to evaluate the Health Professions Schools in Service to the
Nation Program, a national demonstration program of service-learning in
the health professions.  The report's lead authors, Sherril Gelmon and
Barbara Holland, are well known to the SL field.

Workbook sections include:
*why do assessment?
*a framework for evaluation
*key factors in evaluation of service-learning
*strategies and methods for evaluating students, faculty, community
partners and the academic institution
*tools for evaluating these key stakeholders, including copies of survey
instruments, focus group protocols and reflection exercises

As a service-learning advocate, we believe you will be pleased with the
workbook and hope you will find it to be a practical resource for
evaluating and improving your service-learning programs.

for non-members).  You may obtain the order form from our fax-on-demand
