Teton Science Schools
Research and Evaluation
Our Educational Research is Driven by our Five Hypotheses about Place-based Education
Effective place-based education results in:
- Increased student and teacher engagement
- Increased student learning outcomes
- Stronger connections to community and greater community impact
- Increased student social-emotional learning
- More effective educators
Teton Science Schools research program seeks to better understand and document the impact of place-based education as well as answer important questions of practice in education. We strive to situate this work within a decolonial paradigm and are committed to practicing community-based research methods.
