A Guide to Place-Based Education
Learning about the places we inhabit is essential for building knowledge about the world, yet educational experiences that
connect students directly to their communities are often the exception rather than the rule. This course on Place-Based
Education (PBE) is designed to enhance the way you teach by connecting learning to your students’ communities,
through meaningful hands-on experiences. This course equips you with the tools and confidence to move beyond
textbooks and create meaningful, place-based learning experiences. Take a deep breath as you dive into creative, yet
practical strategies, which will guide you through the design of PBE-driven lessons, building community partnerships, and
gaining support from your school. Learners will finish the course with a wealth of resources and strategies they can apply
immediately to their teaching practice.
