My Inquiry Seminars focus on the general topic of experiential learning with a special interest in the use of the outdoors as an instructional tool. I usually offer one Inquiry per school year, in either the Fall or Spring Semester.

Purpose of the seminar:

            To focus upon current research and practice in the area of experiential education, with an emphasis upon environmental/outdoor/place based education. Participants will explore ways to integrate the use of the outdoors as an instructional tool in a variety of content areas and contexts.

 

Intended Audience:

            Teachers from all grade levels are welcome; however, teachers of pre-k through 8th grade, and those teaching in high schools with block schedules, may find the topic of most value. Teachers of all content areas are welcome -- experiential learning is not just for science teaching!            

            It is expected that participants have a sincere interest in researching the experiential/outdoor education area, and intend to incorporate the results of the inquiry into their instructional repertoire.
