Field Experiences for Educators

Get into the field and explore the remarkable natural history around you. Discover ways to integrate these experiences into all areas of your curriculum-language arts, math, history, and science. Gain confidence in using experiential learning as you try hands-on activities and techniques that really work in your classroom and on your school grounds.

(For staff development workshops that come to your school, see School Grounds Ecology Workshops.)

Field Experiences
