How to Make Nature Your Classroom - For Teachers

9:30 AM

The teaching needs of this year have changed (and changed, and changed!). Taking your students outside this year will be more important than ever! This small, safely distanced workshop will be an introduction to getting your students outside and making nature your classroom! The 2.5 hour program will cover risk assessment, how to keep kids happy, safe and engaged outside, nature etiquette (leave no trace teaching) as well as nature themed games & activities to add to your teaching toolkit. This program will end with a campfire with time for participants to respond to discussion questions related to the current teaching situation. You will leave the program with our NEW How to Make Nature Your Classroom booklet that includes a wealth of information and activities adaptable for all ages and across subjects. The booklet will outline natural areas all over the city and summarizes the tips and tricks we’ll share to make your outdoor teaching safe and fun for students!
