Green School Summit for Educators, Presented by the Center for Green Schools, Online, February 12 -13
Event Description
Shifting From Crisis Management to Innovation: Teaching for a Sustainable Future
Learn from and connect with other classroom educators to explore the lessons we have learned from this year of virtual learning and plan practical steps to ensure that those lessons help us to further integrate sustainability education into classroom content and daily practice, engaging students in learning and in making positive change in their communities.
This educational summit is hosted by the Center for Green Schools and the Green Schools National Network.
** The Summit will be repeated on Friday and Saturday so that ALL educators have access to the full content.**
Choose one day to attend.
The current disruptions affecting our educational system will no doubt have long-term impact. Recognizing the challenges and positive ramifications, the assembled panel will offer insight, inspiration, and ideas supporting educators to envision a new, more equitable future where education for sustainability becomes a top priority.
Session 2: Rethinking the Outdoors
Extending the classroom beyond the school walls has become a hot topic in conversations on how to keep schools open. However, offering rich outdoor learning experiences has more often been offered to students and schools of an advantaged demographic. Recognizing the health and academic benefits to ALL students, the panel will talk through strategies that lead to opportunity. No matter the zip code or family financial situation, well-designed outdoor learning experiences have a dramatic impact.
Session 3: Best Practices for Teaching and Learning Outside
The pandemic has highlighted the value (both academic and health related) of teaching and learning outside. This fact, along with the recognition that many educators have not received effective guidance on best practices related to outdoor learning, exemplifies the value of what this panel will share. With first-hand experience and knowledge, these skilled practitioners will offer tools and resources, leading to high-quality outdoor learning.
