Places that Matter asks the reader to identify a place that matters
in their life-their home, a place of worship, a park, or some other
site that acts as an emotional and physical anchor and connects
them to a neighborhood. Then readers are asked: In what ways do I
currently support-or fail to support-that neighborhood? Should
support be increased? If so, in what ways? Joan Ferrante guides
students through a learning experience that engages qualitative and
quantitative research and culminates in writing a meaningful plan
of action or research brief. Students are introduced to basic
concepts of research and are exposed to the experiences of
gathering and drawing on data related to something immediate and
personal. The class-tested exercises are perfect for courses that
emphasize action-based research and social responsibility. The
book's overarching goal is to help students assess their
neighborhood's needs and strengths and then create a concrete plan
that supports that neighborhood and promotes its prosperity.
Accompanying the book is a facilitator's companion website to guide
action-based research experiences, which includes rubrics that are
aligned to common learning objectives and are also designed to make
tracking and reporting easier.
