I am interested in obtaining articles, feedback, etc.,  pertaining to 
Service Learning as defined by Schools of Education.  How would faculty in 
Schools of Education classify pre-service experiences?  Would you classify 
the pre-service experience as Service Learning, Internships, etc?   Any 
help would be most appreciated.
