This online canvas course, for grade 3-5 teachers, brings together the knowledge and experience of our local outdoor education organizations and partners to give Whatcom County educators the confidence to connect the next generation of students to their surrounding community and the natural world.
Teachers will benefit from connecting remote learning to local phenomena. They will learn about place-based climate science through outdoor, hands-on activities while gaining skills in indigenous ways of knowing and social justice issues to incorporate into their teaching.
Participation and clock hours are paid for by the Washington State Legislature’s 2018 Climate Science Proviso or ClimeTime - a statewide initiative of the Washington Governor, the Washington State Legislature, OSPI, and the Association of Educational Service Districts (AESD).
