The following procedures are described for developing practicums and fieldwork programs: 1) establishing program goals, 2) program staffing, 3) selection of service-learning sites, 4) developing a catalogue of approved service-learning sites, 5) developing a student manual, 6) establishing policies and curriculum, and 7) developing a follow-up procedure on students who have completed their service-learning. Included in this guide are examples of administrative tools, sample case studies of students in the program, and reference materials. (JD)
