{"product_id":"the-landscape-of-rural-service-randy-stoecker-9781611862201","title":"The Landscape of Rural Service Learning, and What It Teaches Us All","description":"Up until now, the majority of literature about service learning has focused on urban areas, while comparatively little attention has been paid to activities in rural communities. \u003ci\u003eThe Landscape of Rural Service Learning, and What It Teaches Us All\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to provide a comprehensive look at rural service learning. The practices that have developed in rural areas, partly because of the lack of nonprofits and other services found in urban settings, produce lessons and models that can help us all rethink the dominant forms of service learning defined by urban contexts. Where there are few formal organizations, people end up working more directly with one another; where there is a need for services in locations where they are unavailable, service learning becomes more than just an academic exercise or assignment. This volume includes theoretical frameworks that are informed by the rural, concrete stories that show how rural service learning has developed and is now practiced, practical strategies that apply across service learning contexts, and points to ponder as we all consider our next steps along the path of meaningful service learning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randy Stoecker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611862205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611862201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Michigan State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Randy Stoecker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485661671679,"sku":"9781611862201","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_889086d8-b276-49a9-a68a-89ffea725715.jpg?v=1778050722","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-landscape-of-rural-service-randy-stoecker-9781611862201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
