Local to Global: Place-Based Learning in Sustainability Education

Abstract

With the development of placed-based and personalized learning as the subsequent step in the transformation of the school, it is the correct time to take these mechanisms one step further by emphasizing the project and personalized learning on locally, country-wide, and internationally relevant objects. With the enhancement in student agency, the student can achieve experience regarding the implementation of knowledge, and the society achieves a significant resource in the people of willing and excited students desiring to better the long-term health and well-being of the society. Through a place-based perspective and individualized learning, we can develop an effective educational foundation. In order, to progress into more than merely learners, students must gain the knowledge, skills, abilities, and independence essential for contributing positively to the globe's and their communities' development in the years ahead which is possible only through place-based learning.
