place-based education

[Michael L. Umphrey]

Nice website put together by people who see the worth of connections between local history, schools and community. I don't see any foundation or organization in Montana likely to provide leadership or support for this sort of thing now, but it's pleasant to find it some place. There was always quite a lot of interest in Massachusetts and New Hampshire--and Louisiana.

Most "place-based education" projects are focused on science, but this one really is focused on history.
