Managing the Shift to a Nature-Based Approach in Your Program
It’s finally happening: Early education program leaders around the world are becoming more enthusiastic and enlightened about the benefits of nature-based programs. Many programs are beginning to jump in wholeheartedly but find shifting the culture of their organizations as well as the practice of individual teachers is incredibly challenging.
This webinar supports program leaders and administrators. Dr. Rachel Larimore addressed the foundational administrative and pedagogical practices to successfully shift your team to a nature-based approach. Most importantly, Rachel addressed an often-overlooked element of leading change—the human element, including how to best support staff and families in your evolving infusion of nature.
In this session she discusses challenges and possible solutions related to:
→ Recognizing the role we as leaders play in leading change
→ Establishing policies and procedures which support change
→ Securing resources for safe and effective nature-based learning
→ Supporting teachers in taking small actions to shift their practice to include more nature
→ Recognizing and addressing the very real human reactions to implementing nature-based education
