LEAF Professional Development

Curious about teaching outdoors, but unsure what you need for success with learning outside the four walls of a classroom? This training will provide teachers that are new to outdoor learning with lesson ideas, classroom management strategies, and development of an implementation plan to provide you with confidence facilitating outdoor instruction. Participants will learn how to conduct class outside on any type of school grounds (from urban concrete to rural forests) in order to engage and inspire students in learning. In this updated version of our popular training, participants will receive instruction and e-book access to Project Learning Tree’s new Explore Your Environment guide, as well as an introduction to LEAF’s revised Forestry Education Lesson Guides. You’ll also receive a Step Outside kit in the mail for hard copies of resources and supplies for creating a project-based environmental education product. This training is geared toward K-8 educators.
