Welcome to Outdoor Classrooms
Are you excited about making an outdoor classroom for your students but you’re not sure where to start… or if you have the right resources to make it happen?
Or maybe you already have an outdoor teaching program but you need new inspiration, ideas, resources and innovative ways to take your curriculum to the next level.
You’re excited about what’s possible for you and your students. But at times, you get overwhelmed by the ins and outs and options available… especially on a small budget and with very little extra time.
At Outdoor Classrooms, I make it simple, easy and cost effective for you to start, develop, and enjoy your own one-of-a-kind outdoor classroom… one that integrates perfectly with your curriculum, outdoor space, and budget.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve had an outdoor classroom for years, here you will find the tools, training, community, and time-tested principles you need to:
- Make and sustain your own one-of-a-kind outdoor classroom on a shoestring budget.
- Gain confidence in your ability to teach outdoors even if you’ve never done it before.
- Know how to keep your students engaged, enthused and learning well outside…in rain, snow or sun.
- Get new inspiration, ideas and resources for what, where, when, why, and how to teach outdoors.
- Experience more joy and a deep sense of satisfaction as you watch your students become more curious, engaged, and excited about what they’re learning.
I make it simple, easy and cost effective for you to start, develop, and enjoy your own one-of-a-kind outdoor classroom
For the last 10+ years I’ve helped teachers and school directors cultivate outdoor classrooms and nature-based curriculums that reconnect children with nature and infuse both the teachers and kids with renewed energy, enthusiasm and excitement for teaching and learning.
