Use service learning to grow your community<\/h1>\n

\"a<\/a><\/p>\n

What do you do when you’re a 5th-through-8th middle school housed in two separate buildings?<\/p>\n

If your 7th-and-8th graders are with the high school, and 5th and 6th graders are off on their own, how can you provide an opportunity all middle graders to feel involved in the middle school? How do you promote leadership and engagement, and connect students to their communities?<\/p>\n

For the Cabot School, service learning is the answer.<\/p>\n

Introducing “Cabot Leads”<\/h2>\n

One way Cabot School is handling this issue is by launching a program, based on the iLead service learning and leadership program.<\/a> \u00a0They are calling it Cabot Leads. Service learning helps build strong school communities rooted in service, student interest and engagement.<\/p>\n

Basically, we ask the question:<\/p>\n

What are the needs of the school and of the community, and how can students help develop their interests, self-direction and independence, while serving their school and community?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why do Cabot Leads?<\/h2>\n

Let Cabot’s teachers describe why they wanted to develop Cabot Leads, and what benefits they are seeing so far.<\/p>\n
