Re: Learning the Earth
Using the outdoors as an extension of your classroom
June 11 – July 18
As we do our important work to encourage native plants and pollinators, part of our hope is that more students will experience that outdoor world in meaningful ways. In line with that, here is a class being offered this summer, designed to encourage all instructors to take their classes outside, no matter their subject matter. It’s mostly online and very flexible, though participants are asked to attend four in-person field trips to intriguing places around Delaware County.
This class explores how teachers of all levels and content areas can use the outdoors as an extension of the classroom. No matter what you are teaching, the outdoors can offer you and your students a change of place and a change of pace! This is a hybrid course with weekly choices of activities and a variety of field trips where you will meet with your instructors and other class participants to get ideas and put your learning into action.
Instructors: Terry Hermsen, Otterbein English Professor (retired), and Josh Flory, Science Teacher, Olentangy Hyatts Middle School. CEU credit is being offered through Ashland University. Cost: $180 for one semester hour.
