Introduction to Place-based Education: Asynchronous Virtual Course

In this seven-week asynchronous course, participants will explore the theory and application of Place-Based Education. They will gain practical skills and tools to get started with a place-based classroom experience. Participants will learn how to use the local community as their classroom, guide students to make a positive community impact, connect standards to place, and build learner-centered experiences.

Centering the Learners in Place-based Education

With a place-based approach, learning can be personally relevant to students and enable student agency while allowing a teacher to be the guide or facilitator instead of the holder of all information. In this virtual workshop, explore and discuss how the learner-centered principle of place-based education can support a personalized approach.
