The Worlds Educators Create
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4758-7321-4 (ISBN)
The connection between place and education has always been complicated and in recent decades has mostly been ignored during the standardization era of education. This book provides a different lens to view this connection between place and education as one that is not optional, but inherent to all education. Furthermore, place is looked at not as an ingredient in educational practice, but as an outcome of education. Instead of merely considering how communities and landscapes can be incorporated into teaching practices, The Worlds Educators Create explores how educators can contribute toward the creation and meaning of the places themselves. By incorporating lenses from many fields of study, this book aims to create a unifying perspective of place beneficial for educators across content areas and grade levels. In so doing, educators are able to see the true impact of their work in shaping the places around them. Ultimately, The Worlds Educators Create calls for education to not merely occur in places, but contribute toward making the places themselves more just and equitable.
Matthew A. Clay is an Assistant Professor of Teacher Education at Fort Hays State University interested in the connection between place and education. A former, secondary science teacher, he lives in rural Western Kansas with his wife and children.
