The Teaching Outside workshop is designed to provide teachers and other elementary education staff with the basic skills and tools to implement experiential activities on school sites, in local parks, and in urban settings. Using hands-on, experiential, and discussion based learning, teachers will have the opportunity to discuss benefits and barriers to teaching outside, practice assessing and managing risks, experience NGSS aligned outside activities, and collaborate on ways to make outdoor lessons effective and engaging for students. Please note, the majority of this workshop will be held outside on school grounds.

You will be sent a survey before the course to confirm your registration, gather some additional information, and secure a spot.

Stipend: $50 upon completion of an outdoor lesson with students.  Teacher toolkit included with the training.
