Place-based education (PBE) is a growing educational movement that aims to teach students basic curricular content and skills through their local environment—the place where they live. Instead of standing on the outside looking in, students stand within their world, and work and learn as an active community member. A good amount of learning takes place in a combination of urban and wild environments outside our school walls. Just as we constantly study and explore and familiarize ourselves with our local community, we do the same with the people in our classroom.
