How can you use outdoor explorations to create excitement and ownership in your students? Independent school educators across the watershed are using the environment to initiate powerful learning experiences within their communities. The course will be offered online and allow participants to collaborate with their peers and find innovative ways to use the local environment as a context for learning. This five-day online professional learning course models and supports teachers in designing field-based investigations that foster student environmental literacy. The course will be conducted online but will incorporate outdoor, inquiry-based investigation in your yard, neighborhood or local park.
