Our Vision for Top of the State Service Learning Regional Network is to promote and sustain service learning by encouraging schools to embed service learning into their curricula. We believe service learning is a teaching tool for students to learn content standards and to gain an awareness of their civic responsibility.
Our Mission is to promote academic excellence through the teaching strategy of
service learning. The Top of the State Service Learning Regional Network spreads
the word of service learning to more than 150 schools throughout three counties
on the north coast of California.
Our Goals:
* To increase service learning in the northern
area of Region 1 so that students are engaged in at least one service learning
opportunity at each grade span.
* To
promote and sustain service learning by encouraging schools to embed service
learning in their curricula.
* To
encourage service learning projects that promotes character education, civic
engagement and community involvement.
* To
develop an organizational structure to sustain service learning for Region
1.
* To
support the implementation of service learning by providing schools, parents
and community organizations with in-service and training opportunities.
