Abstract
Service-learning is a well recognised teaching methodology. It involves encouraging and facilitating students' involvement in settings where they can apply academic knowledge and previous experience to meet community needs and reflect on such placement. For such a program to succeed teaching staff will also need to embrace the teaching pedagogy. This chapter examines this issue in the context of a service-learning program in Australia, namely the Tax Help Program. It focuses on the impact of the program on staff development and argues that it is essential for teaching staff to also be involved in reflective practice.
