Embeds learning everywhere and views the community as a classroom. Is centered on individual learners. Is inquiry-based to help students develop an understanding of their place in the world. Incorporates local and global thinking and investigations. Requires design thinking to find solutions to authentic problems. Is interdisciplinary. “While some of the courses offered at LAHS, like AP Human Geography, Native American Studies, and New Mexico History, explore the ideas of place, we offer no yearlong core courses at LAHS that utilize inquiry-based and place-based learning,” said Batha. “Students who enroll in this class will explore course materials that focus on the language and culture of New Mexico and the connections around the globe.”
