OS 31400 - Expedition in Teaching Science, Culture, and Community


(4) A Cohort of Place-based Educators will live and travel as a group to visit, observe and analyze Place-Based Learning programs in a variety of communities in Southcentral, AK. Site visits will include programs offering science education, wilderness education, culture camps and community-based outdoor programming. Cultural benefits of Place-Based Learning will be explored as well as the challenges of integrating such programming in K-12 learning environments. Course will take place on the Kellogg Campus in Palmer and communities across Southcentral Alaska. Options will be explored to better understand how to bridge cultural differences across arctic communities and between indigenous community norms and non-indigenous norms. Prerequisite: Permission of Instructor. Offered Fall/Spring
