DESCRIPTION:Join Mariana and Megan as they share the ‘BE OUT’ digital tool. BE OUT is a new tool for elementary (K-7) school teachers and includes exemplars of outdoor learning from a diversity of teachers organized in a digital format. \nThe tool is designed with very short (90 second) modules and targets teachers new to teaching outdoors with support in four key areas: understanding risky play in the school context; getting started teaching outdoors; teaching with an emergent curriculum; and assessment of learning. \nDr. Mariana Brussoni is Director of the Human Early Learning Partnership and Professor at the University of British Columbia and BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute.

Megan is also a PhD candidate at UBC in curriculum & pedagogy. \nAll registrants will be entered to win some great draw prizes!

Attendee registration includes a one-year membership to MAST as well as a boxed lunch. \nDr. Andy Zucker\, Keynote Presenter – “Tackling Scientific Misinformation in the Science Classroom” \nAndy Zucker is an independent scholar\, based in Cambridge\, Massachusetts who has taught science\, mathematics\, and technology at many grade levels. Moving to the U.S. Department of Education after teaching\, Andy worked on STEM issues and legislation. At SRI International’s Center for Education Policy\, he led evaluations of state and national education programs\, including programs to improve math and science education. He is currently leading a national project to identify what students should learn in K-12 science classes to help them better evaluate information they encounter in the wild. Andy received an M.A. in science education from Stanford and a doctorate in science education from Harvard. \n\nAndy’s keynote will focus on tackling scientific misinformation in the science classroom. “We live in a world where people encounter too much harmful scientific misinformation. We can help students to better evaluate information they acquire from friends\, TikTok\, Instagram\, Facebook or any other source\, and do that in a non-partisan way closely aligned with the STE Standards.” \n

SUMMARY:NAAEE23: Together We Thrive
DESCRIPTION:Conference: October 17–20 \nOur 2023 conference will focus on the importance of collaboration\, creativity\, and crossing boundaries to address the environmental and social issues we face. None of us can tackle these issues alone; we need stronger collaborations\, more diverse partnerships\, and insights from people with varying backgrounds\, perspectives\, and ideas. As soccer great Pelé said\, “No individual can win a game by himself.” We also can’t address the systemic injustices that have marginalized so many unless we understand the shared roots of social and ecological crises and collectively work with intention toward justice. Together\, we can build a sustainable future where everyone thrives.

SUMMARY:Outdoor Play-Based Learning: An Unlearning Series
DESCRIPTION:In the last ten years\, we have seen a groundswell in outdoor and nature-based preschools and an abundance of outdoor play-based learning programs situated on or near school grounds across North America. The possibilities for play are endless\, yet the challenges many educators face are equal in measure. It is important to think through our intentions within outdoor programs and understand the structures and engrained ways of thinking that have made them so necessary. \nWe believe that when children learn through outdoor play\, there are infinite opportunities to learn and unlearn\, in other words\, to grow and to let go. Likewise\, as educators adopt a playful mindset\, there are endless opportunities to learn and unlearn pedagogical and systemic practices that no longer serve our aim for a just world. \nOur shared wonderings: What is possible in outdoor play-based learning? How can we keep ourselves from reproducing our indoor challenges outdoors? What is the role of the educator in play-based learning? What practices invite self-agency and freedom? What do interactions between educator and child look like in outdoor play-based learning? Lastly\, how do we explore outdoor play-based learning from a reflective\, anti-oppressive\, liberatory lens? \nThis 6-part virtual series invites educators and play practitioners to wonder and uncover our assumptions and expectations for play. We will work towards collective transformation through outdoor play-based learning by weaving together research\, practical experience\, individual reflection and insights for a playful future. \nDates:\n\nMonday\, October 16th\nMonday\, October 23rd\nMonday\, October 30th\nMonday\, November 6th\nMonday\, November 13th\nMonday\, November 20th

SUMMARY:Harvard Forest Schoolyard Ecology Summer Institute
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for more ways to get your students outside next school year\, but need some structure and purpose? Do you want to find more authentic projects and practices for Science? Direct experience in nature is critical in fostering the next generation of climate leaders.The Schoolyard Ecology program from Harvard Forest provides educators in a variety of settings a practical way to get students outside connecting with nature and growing their appreciation for the benefits that our natural world provides.Through our three protocols about seasonal change\, invasive species\, and carbon sequestration\, educators in informal and formal settings and at all levels K-12 can use what they see in their own schoolyards to get a better understanding of how our climate is changing around New England and ways they can make a difference. \nJoin us for our Summer Institute at Harvard Forest in Petersham\, Massachusetts on August 22nd-23rd. \nDay 1 ($50 for new schools and classes) is a deep dive into our three projects. You’ll learn everything you need to get started on one of our projects and get your students out collecting data. \nDay 2 is dedicated to our Witness Tree Social Media project (free for all).
