As a teacher I know the value of taking my students into the outdoors. The abundance of what nature can teach them and me, and how students connect with these experiences makes it easy to gear my classroom regularly to the outdoors. Having a framework and gaining knowledge on how to lead outdoor activities has helped build my confidence in taking my students all over. This is an awesome Professional Development option and suiting for today’s classrooms.
