Power of Place: Authentic Learning Through Place-Based Education
“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.”
Rural Schools Collaborative is proud of be a part of the new book, The Power of Place: Authentic Learning Through Place-Based Education by Thomas J. Vander Ark, Emily Leibtag, and Nate McClennen. Released in March 2020, the book shares how all schools can benefit from place-based education by taking you through the six pillars of place-based education.
"This book is aimed at educators from preK through high school, The Power of Place is a definitive guide to developing programs that will lead to successful outcomes for students, more fulfilling careers for teachers, and lasting benefits for communities."
