EDU 913 - Outdoor Education Activities

Credits: 3
The outdoors and nature have a special way of capturing the attention of young people. Nature has a great deal to offer and is an ideal instrument in which to integrate other curricular areas and teach required skills and standards. The study of the outdoors/nature can be brought into any classroom and used as a tool to create interest and motivate students. Participants will be introduced to classroom activities, field activities and projects that are designed to orient teachers to outdoor education and encourage environmental awareness. The course offers activities for both inside the classroom and outdoors.
