2019 Master Class Series

Welcome to the 2019 Interactive Master Class Series. Providing professional development around cultivating nature-based curriculum and Outdoor Classrooms on a shoestring budget is important to me. My passion for this work grew from spearheading the Children’s Garden at my children’s elementary school several years ago. This is where I witnessed first hand the power of an Outdoor Classroom and the need for teacher training around how to reconnect children with Nature. This experience catapulted me into the world of online learning along with a profound overhaul of my own philosophy of education. My mission is to inspire educators from around the world to cultivate nature-based curriculum and outdoor classrooms.

Is your dream for children to experience better grades, health, decreased stress levels, increased motivation, better attitudes about the environments, better behaviors, enhanced communication skills and an increase in outdoor skills? If you said “yes,” then the 2019 Interactive Master Classes are for you.

This course has been so refreshing to my teaching! As a first grade teacher in a public school, I have felt a lot of my creativity stripped away by mandated math and ELA programs that are designed for learning inside of the classroom. This course energized my teaching and brought so much more enjoyment to my students as we learned about topics in math that we may not have touched on until much later in the year. The topics of time, patterns, numbers, measurement and data were interwoven throughout the curriculum. My students now ask to go outside with our math and ELA topics all of the time, and I love to see their curiosity grow along with mine! I am so glad to have taken a course that brings back play and kinesthetic connections to my teaching and more importantly, to my student’s learning!
