Place-based Learning

Great educators know that learning must be relevant and nothing is more
relevant than collecting real-data and interacting with real-life
environments and local communities. We've done our jobs as educators when
students have the skills, knowledge, understanding and attitudes to act upon
what they've learned and make the world a healthier, safer, more beautiful
place for us all. Check out this KPBS article then go outside!
