Promise of Place | Enriching Lives Through Place-Based Education
Promise of Place | Enriching Lives Through Place-Based Education:
"Place-based education is a holistic approach to education, conservation and community development that uses the local community as an integrating context for learning at all ages. It fosters vibrant partnerships between schools and communities to both boost student achievement and improve community health and vitality--environmental, social and economic. Project-focused and inherently tailored by local people to local realities, place-based education is relevant to anyone, anywhere. This website offers the inspiration, networking, resources and evidence you need to launch or strengthen your place-based education work."
