Abstract

International community service-learning has become increasingly accepted as an effective approach to promoting global education and intercultural knowledge among post-secondary students. Professional schools have been at the forefront of this trend, pioneered perhaps by medical schools. Today, university faculties of education and teacher education programs more generally, are now leaders in advancing ICSL pedagogies. There is now overwhelming evidence that ICSL experiences that are well planned and implemented can be transformative on personal and professional levels. This chapter discusses how effective ICSL experiences can be effected. Drawing on qualitative research from an ICSL for pre-service teachers, the author offers some suggestions for increasing the impacts of such programs.
