Unstructured nature-based play, Site assessments, Benefit-risk assessment, policies, protocols…so many terms that can feel foreign and overwhelming. This webinar in the NAture-Based Education Rating Scale (NABERS) series, will focus on safely supporting nature-based play.
Specifically in this session we’ll address:
Unstructured nature play–the what, why, and how
Distinguishing between risks and hazards
Conducting site- and benefit-risk assessments
Developing policies and protocols based on those assessments
Living the policies and protocols
This webinar will be held via Zoom. (Yes, we’ll send you the recording if you can’t attend live!) And whether you attend live or view the recording, we’ll send you a certificate for 1 hour of attendance.*
Individualized Professional Development Goals
If you used the NAture-Based Education Rating Scale (NABERS) to establish your professional learning goals for the year, this webinar supports growth in Section IB: Items 4-6. These sections focus on unstructured play, safety policies and procedures, and following those safety measures.
Not sure what we’re talking about? NABERS is a tool for both PreK and K-3 programs to determine the “natureness” of their program and teaching. You can find the tools in Evaluating Natureness: Measuring the Quality of Nature-based Classrooms in Pre-K Through 3rd Grade in the Samara Shop.
