We offer tiered workshops for teachers, instructional coaches, and administrators, designed to provide practical, hands-on strategies for integrating Nature-Based Learning (NBL) across the curriculum. Our workshops are tailored to meet the needs of educators at different levels of experience and comfort with outdoor learning, ensuring every participant leaves with actionable tools and ideas.
Workshop Details Include:
Customized Learning Experiences: Sessions are designed to fit the unique context of your school or program, including grade levels, subject areas, and available outdoor spaces.
Practical Integration Across Subjects: Learn how to seamlessly connect NBL with core academic areas such as literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts.
Integration of Core NBL Routines: Incorporate foundational NBL routines such as observation journals, daily reflections, environmental mindfulness, guided exploration, and nature-based inquiry cycles to create consistency and student engagement.
Classroom and Outdoor Management Strategies: Explore best practices for managing students safely and effectively in outdoor learning environments.
Hands-On Activities and Modeling: Participants engage in sample lessons, nature-based projects, and investigative activities that they can replicate immediately in their own classrooms.
Leadership Support for Administrators: Guidance for school leaders on cultivating a school-wide culture of nature-based learning, fostering teacher collaboration, and aligning NBL with academic and social-emotional learning goals.
Sustainable Implementation: Strategies for developing long-term, student-centered nature learning programs that grow and adapt over time.
Reflection and Collaboration: Opportunities for educators to reflect on their practice, share insights, and build a supportive network for ongoing development.
