Service-learning pedagogy offers an opportunity to advance engaged-learning opportunities within higher education. This is particularly important given the power dynamics that are endemic within conversations about education, including the conversations around the Common Core, charter schools, and the privatization of education.\n\nCritical inquiry is central to the ethos of service-learning pedagogy, a pedagogy that is built upon community partner participation and active reflection.
