Abstract

Place refers not merely to the physical but also the social and cultural attributes of particular settings. The absence of place in the conceptualization and enactment of social studies methods courses is troubling. To ignore this dynamic is to remain unaware of the ways in which students’ and teachers’ place-based identities inform their experience of social studies curriculum and pedagogy. In our chapter we provide an overview essential notions of place and an argument for the value of teaching from a place-based theoretical framework. We then provide examples from both rural and urban teacher education perspectives to help make the theoretical constructs come to life.
