It offers a way to extend young people's attention beyond the classroom to the world as it actually is, and to engage them in the process of devising solutions to the social and environmental problems they will confront as adults. This approach can increase students' engagement with learning and enhance their academic achievement.<Sociocultural, political, and historical studies in education.Place-based educationUnited StatesCommunity and schoolUnited StatesPlace-based educationCommunity and school370.11/5371.115Smith Gregory A.1948-,1661710Sobel David1949-1661711MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828342203321Place- and community-based education in schools4017814UNINA
