Community as a Context for Learning
Community as a Context for Learning
Jon Yoder, a pioneer of place-based education, published a series of lessons that help students (and teachers) identify the challenges and opportunities their specific community faces, as well as the community partners and stakeholders that effect and are affected by these challenges. The lessons on the right are a great launch point for your students to start thinking about areas where they can make a difference in the community and who can help surround and support them in their work. In supplemental resources below you will find the full set of lessons.
