Downloadable from the bottom of this page is a two page summary of research linking student achievement and place-based education.
This review shows that:
"Place-based or environment-based education uses the environment as an integrating context (EIC) across disciplines. It is characterized by exploration of the local community and natural surroundings, hands-on experiences of environmental discovery and problem-solving, inter-disciplinary curricula, team teaching, and learning that accommodates students’ individual skills and abilities. Research shows that this ap-proach delivers many benefits to students."
