Particular emphasis will be placed upon the importance of the development of ecologically- and culturally-appropriate, community-based educational programs in both rural and urban schools that immerse students in local heritage, cultures, landscapes. Priority will be placed upon project-centered programs lending themselves to experiential learning opportunities. The course will include a combination of literature reviews, discussions, curriculum exploration and design, and on-site community exploration of active place-based educational programs. pre-req: minimum 60 credits
