Program Goal: Facilitate the integration of place-based learning into schools by providing local educators with information, resources, and curriculum development support Intended Outcomes:Short-term Develop new place-based education curricula for use in local schools Connect with community members Develop valuable skills for interpreting the local landscapeMedium-term Infuse place-based activities into their curricula each year Help their students develop a greater sense of placeSurvey Questions:Please rate how strongly (1-5) you agree or disagree with each of the following statements about your PLACE experience:As a result of my participation in PLACE… I more frequently use the local landscape as an educational resource. I more frequently use local residents as educational resources. I have developed and implemented new place-based curricula for use with my
students. I have partnered with a local community organization, agency, business, or
government agency to develop and implement curricula. I feel more confident bringing my students outside of the classroom. I infuse place-based activities into my teaching on an ongoing basis. I have advocated more heavily for my school to incorporate place-based education
into its practices. I have initiated a greater number of service-learning projects. my students have gained an appreciation for the natural and cultural features of
the local landscape. my students have a stronger sense of place.
