Exploring Place Based Education in Science
Ethan Lowenstein and Greg Smith
Lab Out Loud is proud to present a three-part series on place-based education in science. To kickoff this series, we welcome Ethan Lowenstein, Ph.D. (Professor of Curriculum and Instruction at Eastern Michigan University and Director of the Southeast Michigan Stewardship Coalition) and Greg Smith (emeritus professor of education from the Lewis & Clark College Graduate School of Education and Counseling) to the show. Ethan and Greg join us to define place-based education, give us some examples of PBE in science and explain how it can help teach science standards while building a sense of community.
