Natural Curiosity Webinar Part 1: Educator Strategies for Getting and Staying Outdoors

Natural Curiosity?s four-part webinar series have been designed to support educators in their return to school during extraordinary times, so that they can enrich outdoor time with learning in all areas of curriculum, while building community with students and safeguarding everyone?s health. The first webinar in this series, Educator Strategies for Getting and Staying Outdoors, was joined by recent award winners of Natural Curiosity?s Burtynsky Award for Teaching Excellence in Environmental Education, Jennifer Baron (Teacher at YRDSB) and Miriam Snell (Teacher at Tamarack West Outdoor School), as well as Jay Field (Principal at Tamarack West). We thank all of the presenters and participants for making Natural Curiosity?s first webinar an incredible success.

Note: There is one lag between 0:09:25 and 0:09:57. Thank you for your understanding.
