Lesson plans that support a place-based approach to learning

Place-based learning is local, using the real world around a school as the classroom. A place-based approach is learner-centered, grounded in student inquiry, experiential learning, civic engagement, and service work.

Place-based projects are unique to the area that creates them, but that doesn't mean you have to design every piece yourself. Students in different locations can explore the same curriculum topic, but a place-based approach means their resulting work is unique to the context of their local community.

Use a place-based approach to make student learning meaningful by connecting student learning to the world around them.
