Getting Children Outside 101: Early Childhood Educators fall workshop

Saturday, November 16th, 2024

9:00 am – 12:00 pm MT

Based on Teton Science Schools’ Jackson Campus (700 Coyote Canyon Road, Jackson, Wyoming, 83001)

Price: $20

Join us for a morning of exploring the why and how of getting young learners outside and connected to their natural environment. Find inspiration and connection with other early childhood educators about going outside with young children, explore local community resources for helping to get children outside and discuss with others successes and challenges with getting young learners outside.  

 

We will discuss and share:

  • the reasons why it is so important for young learners to play and engage with the natural world 
  • helpful systems, tools and materials that can support teachers to do this successfully. 

 

You will also have the opportunity to learn more about how you can bring the outdoors inside and how we can connect what children are curious about in nature to the curriculum we are doing in the classroom. 

 

Snacks, coffee, and tea will be provided.  Three STARS hours are available for participants.
