Is our teaching truly aligned with the essence of nature-based education?
The Why Do We Do THAT!? webinar dives deep to answer that question.
Nature-based educators face a myriad of decisions daily, each with the potential to shape children's learning experiences. But are we truly aligned with the core goals of nature-based education? It's time to take a critical look at our teaching and administrative practices.
Led by Dr. Rachel Larimore, this webinar is more than just a presentation – it's a call to action. Rachel will challenge attendees to delve deep into program structures, scrutinize physical spaces, and assess teacher-child interactions. Together, we'll unravel the “Why?” behind every decision.
This isn't just about theory – it's about practical application. Discover how intentional decision-making can revolutionize your classroom dynamics, enriching the lives of your students and fostering a deeper connection with nature.
Don't let your nature-based program fall short of its potential. Join us and embark on a journey of reflection, growth, and purpose-driven teaching.
