Fostering Student Achievement and Sustainable Communities Through Place-based Learning.

Stories from the Field

Often the best way to learn how to do something is to see examples. Search the mini-case studies to discover the range of possibilities, large and small, that can be included in the launch of a place-based education program.  These examples are just a sampler of the many excellent projects currently underway around the country.  If you know of other particularly good examples, please send us a summary for inclusion on this website.

Do you know of a place-based initiative?

Educators and program managers love to hear about new projects. Just a brief description can be enough to spark projects in their own community. Send us brief descriptions, articles, or curriculum materials about projects you know of!
