Get Outdoors!
This new educator’s guide supports teachers in getting their students outside and engaged in experiencing the outdoor classroom. Activities include hands-on mapping, cultural explorations of special places, values exploration and secondary level projects.
This guide includes “baby steps” for taking students outdoors – easy and powerful sensory awareness activities that help develop personal connections to nature. It also contains Teacher Tip Sheets and checklists covering group management, materials, field trip planners and the importance of the “100-Metre Field Trip”.
Join us for an engaging outdoor workshop where our experienced facilitators will model the guide’s activities for manageable and successful outdoor classroom experiences.
