The current educational landscape is more complex and demanding than ever. The integration of servicelearning into teacher education programs increase opportunities for intersectionality of curriculum, the development of cultural humility, use of contact theory, and hands-on learning. The partnership between an urban liberal arts university and suburban school district resulted in the College Pals model. The College Pals model acknowledges that pre-service teachers need to learn how to navigate systems that are familiar to their students in order to positively impact student learning and educational experiences. Service-learning as a pedagogical approach enhances instructional readiness through earlier opportunities to work in and connect to classrooms prior to their matriculated field experiences and provide an effective integration of community-oriented approaches to teacher education. © 2018, IGI Global.
