EDU 555 - Integrating Nature into the Curriculum

Drawing on a foundation of place-based education, educators will explore the value of and strategies for bringing nature into the classroom and connecting kids with the outdoors in ways that are integrated across subject areas and developmental domains. Emphasis will be placed on emergent design, where teachers and students are co-constructors and co-learners, and in creating experiences where children feel confident to engage in cognitive, physical, and social-emotional risk-taking.
