- More about The Learning Landscape: Adolescent Literacy Reimagined Through Place-Based Explorations
The sciences of literacy and place-based education have historically been on two separate tracks. In The Learning Landscape, Alvera McMillan persuasively brings them together. Working with “challenged readers,” she demonstrates that place-based approaches to literacy are more engaging for students and lead to increased academic success.
—David Sobel, Professor Emeritus Antioch University, New England
McMillan reminds educators and others how adolescent learning can reflect “meaning, value, and joy.” This book is a celebration of the exceptional ways she intersected literacy, nature place-based learning, and community into an interdisciplinary pedagogy. Her framework is powerful. Like McMillan, every educator should consciously seek students’ strengths while building their capacity as learners within a community context.
—Margaret-Mary Sulentic Dowell, PhD Cecil “Pete” Taylor Endowed Professor, Louisiana State University
When students’ lived experiences, local ecosystems, and community knowledge are integrated into the learning landscape, education becomes a force for resilience in rural communities. As public schools grapple with academic pressures alongside growing concerns about student well-being, rural communities face persistent economic and environmental challenges. This book examines a natureinfused, asset-based approach to adolescent literacy learning as a strategy for sustaining people, places, and communities during periods of disruption and uncertainty. Blending storytelling with an actionable instructional framework, it o ers educators, researchers, and community partners guidance for designing interdisciplinary, nature place-based learning experiences that position young people as active contributors to their communities.
