This free webinar is open to anyone who is interested in working with their children and students outdoors in the coming school year, (whether you are an indoor teacher or outdoor teacher)!
As it becomes clear that learning outside is safer than inside, parks and open spaces will be in greater demand. This offering is for educators who work with all ages, whether you work in an indoor school OR outdoor school, to learn about how to be good stewards of our Nature and human community.
With decades of experience in working with groups of children in the outdoors, the California Association of Forest Schools co-President Lia Grippo, along with Erin Boehme, and Kelly Villarruel from the Academy of Forest Kindergarten Teachers will be hosting a discussion and presenting on topics such as:
• Tending the land
• Sharing space with community members
• Tending relationships with parks caretakers
• Sharing space with other programs
• What not to do!
