Community-Based Education (CBE)
CBE refers to a variety of instructional practices used to connect what is being taught in schools to students' surrounding communities.
Benefits of CBE include:
✓ Helping students understand academic content in a "real world" context
✓ Increasing students' excitement about learning
✓ Strengthening students' higher-order thinking skills
✓ Developing students' 21st Century and 3rd Millennium Skills™
✓ Improving students' retention of academic knowledge
✓ Expanding students' college and career-readiness
✓ Fostering stronger relationships between schools and their communities
✓ Increasing the community’s investment in, understanding of, and support for the school
CBE is a viable solution to closing the opportunity gap that many marginalized students experience because it is a culturally responsive and relevant approach to education that allows students to use 21st-century skills and standards-based skills to better understand and improve their communities.
