CALL FOR SCHOLARS DEADLINE

The John Glenn Institute for Public Service and Public Policy at The Ohio State University recognizes scholars whose scholarship contributes to advancing the understanding of or adoption of service-learning, with specific emphasis on K-12 education.

Areas of emphasis for the upcoming November 12, 2004 John Glenn Scholars in Service-Learning application deadline include the following:

1) Critical Issues and Priorities: Seeking research-based and significant conceptual papers that expand our understanding of critical issues and priorities affecting the implementation and/or sustainability of service-learning in K-12 education.

2) 2004 International Conference on Service-Learning Research: Recognition of scholarship excellence among conference presenters. This is an open paper topic but should have a bearing on the understanding and adoption of service-learning in K-12 education.

Applicants should submit a copy of their curriculum vitae and a copy of a single paper upon which the selection review will be based. We encourage submittal of papers that are new scholarship and welcome papers that may appear in other sources (reprint permission required). Submissions should not exceed 40 pages of double-spaced, typewritten copy including references, tables, and figures. Content and style should be of a high quality appropriate for publication in a professional journal (American Psychological Association 5th edition style manual guidelines preferred).

Selection as a Scholar will carry an honorarium of $1000; recipients will also be recognized as a John Glenn Scholar in Service-Learning. Scholar selections will be featured on the Institute’s website and publicized on a national level with specific attention focused on papers submitted as part of the selection process. Each paper will generate up to four different 1-2 page advisories tailored to relevant groups and in formats that are immediately accessible to teachers, the media, policy makers, or grant makers.
