Place-Based Learning

Amy Sprowles and Matt Johnson on episode 342 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

We became much more aware and knowledgeable about what place-based learning means to other people and other groups.
-Amy Sprowles

Place-based learning rests on the power of immersing students, faculty and staff in the place and recognizing the heritage, culture, landscape, geography, plants, animals and rocks and how those things interact with each other to illustrate to students how so many disciplines are interconnected.
-Matt Johnson

You cannot talk about the place without talking about the Indigenous people that have been there since time immemorial.
-Matt Johnson
