Science activities that take students outside the school walls can combine the best aspects of service to the community, problem-based learning, and lessons in good citizenship. Over the past half-decade, The Science Teacher (TST) has published more than 50 articles featuring community partnership programs. The current issue takes you on a tour of community-teacher-student success stories from Virginia to Alaska and Hawaii, as noted by the Field Editor in this month's Editor's Corner. In addition, an overview of the upcoming focus themes for the 2006-2007 issues of TST is featured.
