National Student Service-Learning and Community Service Survey (FRSS 71): Public Use Data Files

This file contains data from a 1999 quick-response survey, "National Student Service-Learning and Community Service Survey" (FRSS 71). The survey was sent to principals at elementary and secondary public schools, who passed it along to the school official most knowledgeable about the types of programs in question. These officials were asked about policies, support, and funding for their school's community service and service learning programs. Questions covered rates of student participation, presence of school policies requiring participation, reasons that schools encourage involvement, level of integration of service learning into the curriculum, program staffing, types of service-learning available to students, availability of support and professional development for teachers, presence of service-learning project evaluation measures, and sources of funding.
