Place-based education is on the rise. Tired of "teaching to the
test," educators are looking for authentic ways to connect their
curriculum to real life. The place-based approach brings students
into their communities to learn necessary content and skills by
working to meet the needs of local agencies and organizations.
Students are more engaged because they know they are doing real
work, teachers are reinvigorated by creating exciting learning
opportunities, and the school takes on a more active role in the
community. At the heart of this process is the place itself: the
land, the history, and the culture. Bringing School to Life:
Place-Based Education across the Curriculum by Sarah Anderson
offers insights into how to build a program across the K-8 grades.
Anderson addresses key elements such as mapping, local history,
citizen science, integrated curricula, and more. Additionally,
Anderson suggests strategies for building community partnerships
and implementation for primary grades. This book goes beyond theory
to give concrete examples and advice in how to make place-based
education a real educational option in any school.
