Place-based learning
is an educational approach that uses all aspects of the local environment, including local cultural, historical, and socio- political situations and the natural and built environment, as the integrating context for learning. In its most developed forms, it includes a clear focus on learning through civic engagement and participation in service projects of obvious relevance to the local school and community. www.promiseofplace.org |
