Place Based Learning/Local Studies

 Join 2019 Montana Teacher of the Year, Bonner Middle School teacher Dylan Huisken, for a discussion via Zoom about Place Based Learning/Local Studies on January 9, 2023, 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. 

This session will provide ready-to-apply tips on how to implement placed-based education with local history! Register here.

Why should you integrate Place-Based Learning/Local Studies? According to Dylan, "students should be able to see themselves in the curriculum. One of the best ways to do this place-based education, which helps students create relevant and tangible background knowledge by looking for history in their own family, backyard and community.  If we want our students to grow up to be good citizens, we must first teach them how to be good neighbors. This requires perspective and student-led research in their local history."

This online session is an exciting kick off our 2023 learning and sharing series. Sessions will be held the second Monday of the month January-March from 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. via Zoom. Attendees may earn one OPI renewal unit. You must register to receive the Zoom link.
