Place-conscious pedagogy embeds hands-on, real world learning experiences with students at the centre. Exploring the historical, cultural, political and economic layers and issues of community may include social and ecological justice, or inquiries linked to indigenous worldviews and perspectives. “Place-conscious learning focuses on students constructing critical understandings of their community and place. The marriage of critical learning with place-based education produces a place-conscious pedagogy that incorporates the life experiences of both teachers and students within the social and political context of their school community (Dahle-Huff, 2015).
Place is really any environment or context in which people interact to “learn, create memory, reflect on history, connect with culture, and establish identity” (BC Ministry of Education, 2021).
