Links for Educators!

Educators are an important link between children and their parents.  Studies show that schools that use outdoor classrooms and other forms of experiential education produce significant student gains in social studies, science, language arts and math. Educators can use the broad context of the natural world to enliven teaching and learning, weaving nature related concepts through  curriculum at all levels.

“As a teacher, your ability to creatively engage your students with the natural world in their everyday lives can make a huge difference in their health, well-being, and capacity to learn.”  -Children and Nature Network
