Inspire learning and build community through place-based ecological education.
Place-based education (PBE) expands the classroom walls by bringing learning experiences into the communities and ecosystems where students live. Practitioners of PBE prioritize learning opportunities that are student-centered, inquiry-based, outside in nature, and focused on authentic problems. When done well, documented outcomes of PBE include academic, socio-emotional, and health benefits for students; teacher engagement and satisfaction; and strengthened community partnerships for schools.
