Community and learning

Not all teaching and learning occurs in a classroom. People who work in community settings are often involved in non-formal educational situations with program participants, community members, volunteers, youth, and the general public.

The community and learning program is designed to give individuals involved in community life a framework for the kind of teaching and learning that occurs outside of the classroom. Students learn about the history of education in community settings and traditions of democratic education for everyday teaching and learning situations.
