Abstract Details

2007, MA, University of Cincinnati, Education : Educational Studies.
Community based education seeks to address ways to strengthen schools through local efforts. These grassroots efforts strive to compel the community to come together to make learning relevant to local needs and strengths. This emphasizes an engaged approach to justice learning (critical, service-learning and social justice pedagogies), which benefits students and their community reciprocally. This active learning approach attempts to make schools a part and partner of community development. The pedagogy of engagement closes gaps between living and learning and uses unique elements of place to provide learning context. It seeks to educate students for the practice of freedom rather than the maintenance of existing structures of domination. Reflecting on student and community strengths, this paper seeks to illustrate new ways to fully elaborate the great potential for community development and grassroots school reform through justice learning to benefit all partners to inspire contextual and engaged educational communities of practice.
