A story from #Syracuse University about corporate support for #PlaceBased #ScienceEducation.
#EnvironmentalScience #CriticalZone #scienceeducation #placebased #syracuse
Mandy Nix is a #CriticalZone scientist based at the University of #Vermont. This week she is taking part in a four day conference with a hundred fellow scientists who are all part of the ##NSF -funded Critical Zone Collaborative Network.
As part of the conference Network scientists guided field trips including one to the threatened #GreatSaltLake.
Nix describes how field trips like this contribute to the educational experience.

#PlaceBased #Science connects students with the #CriticalZone, their #community, and their #culture. It's so much more than just an approach to teaching and learning.
More about #PlaceBased #education in this post from the #Teton Science Schools in #JacksonHole, #Wyoming.

"Richmond’s riverfront is gaining a new center whose purpose will be to introduce thousands of area schoolchildren to the James River each year."
What an awesome project!

#PlaceBased #science #education is front and center in this story from the Coeur d'Alene press in #Idaho.
Projects like this one are essential for showing #MiddleSchool and #HighSchool students how #science is one of the ways they can contribute to future efforts to mitigate the effects of the #ClimateCrisis in the #CriticalZone.

"We are either moving to keep the dominant paradigm or to transform it. What better catalyst for change than our youth, who are already fueled by being marginalized?"
The importance of #PlaceBased #education from Clearing Magazine by Creative Educational Networks.
"#PlaceBased science education is fundamentally #transdisciplinary and cross-cultural."
Here's a great resource for #science teachers considering further development of their place-based #curriculum

Our current work developing culturally relevant #PlaceBased #ScienceEducation resources for #K12 classroom teachers is part of a long term, ongoing effort to include more voices and views in #STEM fields.

"A sense of place arises not just from a location, but from interrelationships between people and the natural world." That quote from the #OpenSource paper linked below prompted this image generated by #Midjourney
In the paper Matthew D. Johnson, et. al. suggest "organizing learning around place can promote inclusive student success."
#PlaceBased #STEM #Education resources for students is something our Cluster members continue to develop.

I met Minister Joe O'Brien in Darndale, Dublin, this week, to discuss the potential for #placebased approaches to developing collaborative #leadership, and energising local leaders and communities to tackle long-standing, complex social and economic problems.
@drmilks That’s some great #PlaceBased #ScienceEducation. 🌳🔬#CriticalZone
