Place based education integrates school and community and engages students in the culture of their community which creates citizens who are more engaged with their local issues, which is where real change happens #edr321

Place based education is very useful in making science (especially environmental issues) relevant to students. They are able to see how large concepts affect their communities. #edr321

With the community as your classroom, a social studies teacher can do many things. A knowledge of the history of one’s community increases one’s love for the community. Same as with science, it can make things relevant to students which is so important #edr321

Project based learning, in my opinion, is a better model of education in terms of supporting the economy. Students learn real world skills and gain vital experience. Away with the mode of the Industrial Revolution! #edr321 #pblchat

Grand Rapids and Kent County as a whole is a growing area for immigrants to find a home in America. These immigrants deserve education and are capable of incredible things. We need to be equipped and supported to teach English language learners well. #EDR321

Read an article addressing how social studies teachers teach credibility and learned that our biases affect our daily lives and even how our brains think and react! We must be vigilant of this as social studies teachers. #EDR321 #SocialStudies

IMPROV IS EDUCATIONAL !!! I’ve been saying it for 5 years improv is more than just a funny show you go to on Friday nights. It is a brain busting SKILL that expands your thinking and can be used to improv speaking fluency and also WRITING as well! #EDR321
