CALLING ALL Walking Curriculum and Imaginative Ecological Education enthusiasts! Enrich your imaginative ecological outdoor teaching practices in this Spring 2023 event.

In lieu of a Walking Curriculum 30-day challenge this year, we want to do something different!

We want to go deeper with imagination-focused practices and unearth the principles that infuse the Walking Curriculum.

Over 3 weeks of learning in a self-paced but supported approach (including 3 LIVE webinars and daily prompts via email), you will dig into and apply the COGNITIVE TOOLS that engage your students’ emotions and imaginations in and with Place.

Why participate?

Well, besides the BONUS of joining a community of educators passionate about taking learning outdoors with IMAGINATION…reason enough?

By signing up you can:

• Engage in learning that is self-paced, self-directed, live and/or asynchronous—you choose.
• Practice employing tools that support emotional connections—tools that engage your students’ imaginations and emotions in Place.
• Practice employing tools useful for making ANYTHING you teach meaningful and memorable.
