Item Description

You might not know that Berkshire County is home to one of the most acclaimed and groundbreaking nature journals in the country: Orion. This two-part auction item will be of particular interest to teachers, nature educators, parents, and anyone working with children. 

A one-year subscription to Orion magazine: Orion covers environmental issues like no other magazine. For years, the environment has been dealt with as a single, stand-alone issue. But today, Orion is setting the standard for demonstrating how our lives are connected to the natural world that surrounds us. Explore Orion.

The book Place-Based Education: Connecting Classrooms and Communities, by David Sobel, from Orion's Nature Literacy Series. The most comprehensive review of the pedagogy and practice of place-based education yet to appear. Through academic research, practical examples, and step-by-step strategies drawn from classrooms throughout the United States, Sobel celebrates teachers who emphasize the connection of school, community, and environment. Place-Based Education uses the local community and environment as the starting place for curriculum learning, strengthening community bonds, appreciation for the natural world, and a commitment to citizen engagement.
