Place-Based Education

Building curiosity and community

Place: it’s where we’re from; it’s where we’re going. . . . It asks for our attention and care. If we pay attention, place has much to teach us.”

Join us for the next Getting Smart Town Hall, focused on the power of place-based education (PBE), “Every Place is a Place: The Power of Place-Based Education For Building Curiosity and Community.”

We’ll start by diving into what PBE is. Then, we’ll share examples of how schools in diverse contexts and environments have adopted place-based programs as a way to better engage students this summer while attaining three important goals of education: student agency, equity, and community. We’ll close with tips for and best practices for implementing PBE for the new school year.

This event will take place on May 6th at 10:00 a.m. PT.
