Making a World of Difference by Looking Locally
Lowenstein, Ethan; Smith, Gregory
Educational Leadership, v75 n2 p50-56 Oct 2017
By allowing students to ask critical questions about the places and spaces surrounding them, teachers can empower them to develop problem-solving skills to tackle issues and make a difference in their communities. In this article, Smith and Lowenstein offer three wonderful examples of long-standing environmental place-based education projects that improved animal habitats and natural landscapes and created a unique learning experience for students. They make a case for encouraging students--from preschool- to high school-aged--to ask "What if?", and offer tips for how teachers can get more involved with community members and leaders to enrich the classroom experience.
