The relationship between place and education has long been complex and has often been overlooked during the era of standardized education. This book offers a fresh perspective, viewing place as an inherent aspect of all education rather than an optional ingredient. Instead of merely considering how communities and landscapes can be incorporated into teaching practices, The Worlds Educators Create explores how educators can actively contribute to the creation and meaning of the places themselves. By drawing insights from various fields of study, the book seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of place that can benefit educators across different content areas and grade levels. By recognizing the impact of their work on shaping the places around them, educators can strive to make the places more just and equitable. Ultimately, the book calls for education to not only take place in specific locations but also play a role in creating more just and equitable communities.
