Outdoor Education (Copy)
Curriculum/Program Developer
Run a camp or conference center and want help expanding into Outdoor/Environmental Education programming?
Have a solid program that needs some revision or updating? I develop NGSS & SEL based lessons, along with assessments and rubrics.
I train staff in curriculum and effective outdoor teaching techniques so they’ll be successful with your clients.
“Enthusiastic presentation of microscopic plant/ animal life in water. Allowed children to explore & discover answers on their own. One step past excellent.” OEE Evaluation form
Free-lance Outdoor Environmental Education Instructor
As a OEE Instructor with 26 years of experience in ecosystems around the country, I can jump in and teach almost any curriculum you offer. Have an exceptionally busy week? Experiencing a staff shortage? I’m there! I’m happy to completing any paperwork and training related to the safety and well-being of your clients (background checks, etc.) I hold current certificates in CPR/First Aid/AED, Youth Mental Health First Aid, and Youth Protection Training.
"We walked around outside and charted how far cars would go on different surfaces like gravel, concrete, and sand. We made predictions and tested them. It was really fun!" Zander, age 8.
Scientific Inquiry & STEM at Home (pre-K- Grade 8)
Have lots of homeschool resources, but looking for some hands-on Science and a chance to engage with an educator? We set up a video conference call so I can explain Scientific principles and do a brief demonstration. Kids have a chance to ask questions and clarify the goals for the challenge. Your kids work on a challenge (that can be done on their own with household items). They share their discoveries and we build from there. Custom learning & connection. Real experiences of Science.
"Tide pooling in Oregon is really fun because you can find different things like hermit crabs, sea stars, and barnacles." McCai, age 6
Outdoor Science and Nature Activities: Where You Live (all ages)
Struggling to figure out how to entertain your young people at home? Want to get your kids outside and exploring, but you don’t know what to do once you get there? Hoping they’ll go outside so you can get some of that “working from home” done in the peace & quiet? I’m here to help! I can provide you with weekly curated nature-based experiences that you can do in your backyard, neighborhood, park, or other outdoor spaces.
