- Abstract
This work chronicles strategies used to engage a low-income rural community in the development of a middle school service-learning curriculum. Through interviews, focus groups, meetings, and retreats, we engaged in a cycle of implementing the curriculum, soliciting feedback, and revising materials. The community's feedback led us to simplify the curriculum, make lessons user-friendly for teachers, and incorporate more engaging activities for students. The significance and implications of this approach are discussed.
