  3. Sense of Place “Places matter. Their rules, their scale, their design include or exclude civil society, pedestrianism, equality, diversity (economic and otherwise), understanding of where water comes from and garbage goes, consumption or conservation. They map our lives.”  Rebecca Soinit How does place map the lives of students in rural NV? How they live? Work? Should we expect their post-secondary options be limited to moving/long commute to college location OR learn through online education?

  4. Place Based Education Definition: place-based education promotes learning that is rooted in what is local—the unique history, environment, culture, economy, literature, and art of a particular place—that is, in students' own “place” or immediate schoolyard, neighborhood, town or community. Could Place Based education play a role in CTE? Tenants of Place based education • Interdisciplinary Study • Collaborative Learning • Learning Across Significant Differences • Personal Engagement • Linking Theory with Practical Applications Unique Changes to Rural Northern Nevada
