Professional Development
The need for outdoor teacher training and curriculum connections are real barriers that prevent educators from offering more environmental learning experiences. Grow Wise Learning can curate professional development experiences for your individual school or on a district-wide level to encourage outdoor learning. Offering single presentations or monthly learning sessions the goal is connecting educators of all grade levels and subjects to quality place-based practices so every child can learn outside.
Schoolyard Features Inventory
Sally Triant designed the Schoolyard Features Inventory as a tool to assess the capacity every schoolyard has to support environmental and outdoor learning. Each schoolyard is observed through the lens of curriculum connections, habitat creation, and community science as well as the ability to support stewardship and civic engagement opportunities. Designed to discover the unique connection to place and the potential of every schoolyard to support outdoor learning while working to uncover barriers that prevent it. Grow Wise Learning can conduct an individual survey or work to unlock the potential for environmental and outdoor learning for your entire district!

“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.”
~ Rachel Carson
