Charles Campbell, Director of The Place Network, leads and facilitates a three-day workshop with Ruch Outdoor Community School staff, October 2022.
This year, Ruch Outdoor Community School (ROCS) is partnering with the Teton Science Schools (TSS) by joining The Place Network, a collaborative network of rural K-12 schools that connects learning and communities to increase student engagement, academic outcomes and community impact. Alongside 21 other rural schools (see map below), ROCS will have access to sample curriculum, consulting and implementation, research to inform best practice, and assure school readiness in fully adopting the principles of place-based education.
