Hello!
We're hoping to submit a proposal for NAEYC 2020 about placed based learning and how educators can utilize their community to take learning outside of the classroom, no matter where their community is. At the
Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center, we are fortunate to have lots of museums to visit in conjunction with our curriculum, but also value the numerous community spaces nearby such as gardens, stores, restaurants, a construction site, the metro, etc.
We're looking for a partner or two to join us in our proposal so we can make it more robust for participants to see how this can be done in multiple settings. If you're interested in collaborating, please message or email the following:
- What type of setting do you work in (i.e. home care, school, etc)?
- What ages do you work with?
- How do you use the community?
- What type of community do you work in (i.e. city, rural area, small town, etc.)?
Hope to hear from you!
Cynthia and Brooke
