Nature and Place: Developing a Curriculum Framework Unique to Your Site:

Are you an Educator who is passionate about nature and place-based learning? This workbook is designed with you in mind. Focusing on a particular site, such as a park or school yard where you will be teaching students, this workbook guides for you through a site assessment to help you get to know your site intimately, to create a framework that you can use to design your curriculum. Over the 22 pages of this workbook, you will spend a couple of days immersed in learning about your site, all the while creating a resource inventory, and a seasonal chart of curriculum ideas, based around the specific site where your students will be learning. This resource is great to use with colleagues, as it prompts you to consider how you intend to use your outdoor learning space to best serve the students, and how you may adapt it over time.
