“The POP conference gives me both the skills and the support I need to do place-based education in my school. Just knowing there are other people out there doing it helps me to feel less isolated. And this year…I plan to bring my superintendent. Then he'll see the magic and the potential of this work.”
–7th Grade Science Teacher
