Publication: Empowerment in Student Teaching Through Community Service-Learning

• Wade, Rahima C.

To promote empowerment, student teachers participated in
service learning projects. They had received training for
service learning and thus knew more about it than did their
cooperating teachers. So they were empowered as leaders in
the student teacher setting. Factors contributing to
successful empowerment included student teacher initiative
and leadership and support by cooperating teachers.
