Place-Based Learning & Common Core
July 30 through August 1
FDR Home & Presidential Library Hyde Park, NY
This year’s institute is designed to show how place-based learning can help you negotiate Common Core without sacrificing your focus on students and community. Whether you work in a school or a less formal setting such as a park, historic site, or museum this institute will give you something to think about, talk about, and DO!
As always, there will be two days of workshops, and the middle day will feature more extended field experiences. THV will provide certificates of attendance for up to 22 hours.
