Multicultural Approaches to Outdoor Education March 17-19

This experiential and lecture based workshop for classroom teachers and environmental educators working with K – 12 students is facilitated by Running Grass, Founder and Executive Director of Three Circles Center for Multicultural Environmental Education, with the support of NatureBridge educators. A short survey and reading/writing assignment prior to the workshop will be assigned to prepare participants for the experience. During the workshop participants will:

• Explore personal racial and cultural histories that shape their interactions with students.
• Receive frameworks and resources that lend insight into the rich environmental histories and perspectives embedded in the backgrounds of their students and how they can be applied in environmental learning.
• Examine curricula and observe teaching strategies that support all students in the outdoor classroom.
• Explore multicultural connections to science and outdoor education.

More instructional time will be indoors than outdoors.

(Tuition includes lodging, meals, and NatureBridge-led instruction; 20 clock hours available at $4 each)
