Place-based Learning
Culture, location, community, and heritage are the foundations of a learner. Place-based learning allows learners to draw deeper connections to materials, 认识的方式, and the culture of a specific location. 例如, place-based learning involves incorporating local stories into English lessons, solving real-time community concerns in social studies courses, and exploring geographical landmarks through experiential programs in photography and art.
系统教学
Placing an individual at the center of their education allows for a greater sense of agency, and the inspiration to pursue lifelong learning. A learner-centered approach puts individuals in the driver’s seat of a project. Learners and teachers engage about expectations. Conversations are valued over passive lectures. Learners create their own pathways toward completion.

Growing in importance with the rise of digital technologies, the ability to create learning environments that respect human-centered experiences, regardless of modality, from anywhere in the world, is a key tenet to blended learning. In courses that use this approach, in-person moments become powerful reflective and collaborative spaces that build upon the discussions, 发现, 和材料.
