Wild Education for the Real World

 

We help teachers build inspiring and engaging projects for authentic growth at every age and within every subject area.

Our BUILD professional development program is immediately enriching, widely applicable, and emphasizes material that really matters. A wild kind of education equips us to explore and immerse ourselves in the natural world; Educating Earthlings starts with professional development and leads to an accessible nature-based practice for teachers and students.

Together, we can thrive, be curious, learn, and belong.

Wild Education

The best moments at school put teachers and students side by side sharing investigations, trying new skills, and developing unexpected interests. Our professional development meets teachers where they are to ensure that valuable work is happening in every classroom. We help to focus teaching and learning on that rich zone of proximal development, where trials and discoveries happen. Our BUILD Learning Designs train educators to centre key concepts, essential materials, and collaboration. Educating Earthlings aims for resonant and inspiring experiences that engage all learners. The goal, in a word, is growth.

 

Real World

The Earth and its occupants offer us deep wisdom, and by paying attention we can make the natural world really matter. Our Educating Earthlings ecological program is an effective means to capture important curricula and to support social-emotional well-being. Utilizing an approach introduced in our BUILD professional development, this ecological program empowers teachers to connect learners to their natural world, no matter their wilderness access, experience, or expertise. Learners can rely on the wisdom of nature, the enthusiasm of students, and the guidance of their teachers.
