Cultivating Outdoor Classrooms
Cultivating Outdoor Classrooms : Designing and Implementing Child-Centered Learning Environments
Transform outdoor spaces into learning environments where children can enjoy a full range of activities as they spend quality time in nature. This book is filled with guidance to help you plan, design, and create an outdoor learning program that is a rich, thoughtfully equipped, natural extension of your indoor curriculum. Loaded with practical and creative ideas, it also includes information to help you understand how outdoor classrooms benefit children's learning and development; collaborate with other teachers, administrators, and families to make your outdoor classroom a reality; create development and action plans to strategize and implement changes; and evaluate your outdoor environment, programs, and practices. Cultivating Outdoor Classrooms promotes the idea that if you can do it indoors, you can probably do it outside as well.
