These professional development workshop experiences were designed to help educators bring the power of place-based learning to their students. Throughout each workshop, participants learned about the theory and practice of place-based education in the humanities, using local sites and organizations as hands-on case studies and mentors. Participants learned through the places themselves, in cooperation with place-based learning and content experts. 

These workshops were designed for educators to bring resources from these places, including their own experiences, back to the classroom to help their students better understand humanities using local and regional examples to understand broader themes and ideas.
