This course equips you with the tools and confidence to move beyond textbooks and create meaningful, place-based learning experiences. Take a deep breath as you dive into creative, yet practical strategies, which will guide you through the design of PBE-driven lessons, building community partnerships, and gaining support from your school. Learners will finish the course with a wealth of resources and strategies they can apply immediately to their teaching practice.
