Drawing from the Well

Water is life; likewise, the life of a community is sustained as the experiences, expertise, and knowledge of one generation are passed down to the next. The Drawing from the Well curriculum was developed and implemented with students in northern New Mexico over 20 years ago (Goldberg et al., 2003). The curriculum has been re-imagined for teachers to flexibly facilitate community-based learning for any grade level and any content areas, ensuring the interests of the students guide the learning. The primary goal of the curriculum is to drive student learning founded in place-based cultural, historical, linguistic, and/or environmental beliefs, values, and traditions.
