Place-based education runs on four distinct domains of school practice

Evidence

We encourage SEED teams to pursue projects within four domains of work: curriculum integration, schoolyard enhancement, community-based education, and school sustainability. A thread of environmentalism runs through all of these, but doesn’t dominate in any of them. In each domain we seek to balance environmental perspectives with other genuine concerns. — David Sobel, Place-Based Education, 74
