Often, our most memorable learning happens away from home. For that reason, we frequently head out on the road for
what we call our "learning journeys". This concept is based on the Journeys Teacher Guide, a place-based educational model developed by TCCS head instructor Steve Archibald
and others at Teton Science Schools in Jackson, Wyoming. Our journeys have led us to the Wallowa Valley in northeastern Oregon
to study in the home place of Chief Joseph; to Yellowstone National Park to conduct field studies of wildlife; and to many
traditional Salish Indian sites in and around Western Montana. These extended journeys, coupled with weekly traverls in our
local environs, provide students with an emerging sense of how they fit into what we call "place".
