September CE Lunch Meeting - Destin

Outdoor Learning, The Outdoor Environment,

and How Both Can Combat Toxic Stress

Course Number

40107554

Course Description

Outdoor Learning has become a new trend in education, but how can we ensure we aren’t just building a million dollar shade structure that won’t be used? Current research supports the use of outdoor learning to combat toxic stress and negative effects of trauma. And, after we’ve all experienced the realities of living through a pandemic, outdoor learning has become that much more important as a tool for good health.

So how can we support schools to ensure outdoor spaces are used? First, we will look at what the research says about the benefits of outdoor learning. But then we will move a step further to look at types of outdoor learning experiences and how outdoor environments can support easy use of these beneficial spaces.
