Example Projects

Place-based education is a popular phrase these days, and the GLFT’s recent surveys of K–12 educators and representatives of environmental organizations indicate that the meaning assigned to this phrase varies considerably among respondents.

To help applicants better understand the nature of place-based education as conceived by the GLFT, a few examples are provided here. Two PowerPoint presentations (“Broad Brook” and “Algiers: Gateway to Guilford”) come from the work of the Center for Place-based Education at Antioch New England Institute. The remaining examples are stories about the place-based projects of teachers, students, and community groups involved in the DTE Freshwater Institute at Northwestern Michigan College.

Tales from the Field: Place-Based Education in Action
- Tale #2: Helping Protect the River Shoreline (47.6 KB, Adobe^® PDF)
- Tale #4: Wildlife Habitat Restoration (46.9 KB, Adobe^® PDF)
- Tale #6: “Rain Garden” Outdoor Lab (50.6 KB, Adobe^® PDF)
- Tale #7: Remediating Shoreline Erosion (49.0 KB, Adobe^® PDF)

Considered together, these presentations and stories illustrate the integrated strategies and student-centered work that the GLFT seeks to support through the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative. These examples should not be seen as templates to be duplicated. They are intended to serve only as examples of the kinds of projects and programs that incorporate the Initiative’s core strategies.
