Community-based Education: Model Programs

Description: This educator’s guide is part of a series on community-based education. Each previous manual attempted to fill a specific niche in assisting educators in establishing this type of approach to the way in which school is conducted. Readers would be well-served to access earlier educator guides (Educator’s Guide to Program Development in Natural Resources, Community as a Context for Learning, Community-based Natural Resources for Biology, and the final guide (published July 2012) Connecting Classrooms to the Community in order to provide the support and resources necessary to begin or enhance their work with students.

This educator’s guide will provide a glimpse at what is possible when teachers and their students embrace the community-based approach. It is important to note that everyone starts out with small projects and it is only over time and with relationships built up in the community that larger programs result. I hope the stories included here will provide both inspiration and ideas on how to take your students and school on this journey.
