Abstract
This chapter explores the theoretical underpinnings of service-learning. A brief overview of past and current definitions of service-learning, and its defining elements and benefits to all stakeholders will be explored. This chapter will also frame Leadership Experience for Academic Direction (L.E.A.D.) in the service-learning context through a discussion of the process facilitated through the program (preparation, action, reflection, demonstration) based on literature. Within the L.E.A.D. program, teacher candidates conduct a needs assessment, prepare a project proposal, and compile all information from planning and resources into a final project that showcases their learning.
