Place Conscious Education
For most of my career, I have worked to bridge community and education, research and practice, and to amplify the importance of diverse cultures in the application of science. Much of this work has been through my practice Crane Collaborations and through collaborations with schools. In the Monterey Bay region, I have worked with local schools and community partners to facilitate educational practices, community outreach, and evaluation. Two central partnerships are with Elkhorn Slough Foundation and Hall District Elementary School for the Critical Environmental Education Pedagogy course, and the Los Arboles Middle School for the Projects in Environmental Education course.
