Outside the Four Walls: Engaging Students Through Environmental Learning

At our school, we believe that children are the best hope for the future. Today’s youth will become adults in a world facing climate and environmental challenges, and need to be Natural Leaders. As such, environmental and outdoor learning play an important role in increasing student engagement, achievement, and physical and mental health. Participants in this webinar will learn how we use Education for Sustainability and Place-, Problem- and Project-based pedagogies from our experienced educators. Educators, administration and all those involved in learning communities are invited to learn about our approach, join a panel of teachers discussing the implementation of these learning strategies, and start discussing how the key elements of a green school can be incorporated into various educational settings.
