EMPOWER YOUR TEACHERS WITH PLACE-BASED LEARNING STRATEGIES
Our workshops empower teachers to transform their classrooms into spaces where students actively engage with their community and give them the confidence they need to do it on their own!
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE
At Yellow Steps, we understand that teachers want to facilitate dynamic learning experiences for their students, but often feel overwhelmed by the many demands of the job. Our professional learning workshops equip educators with the courage they need to increasingly leverage their community as a means toward a more sustainable approach to teaching and learning.
WHAT WE OFFER:
Professional Learning Presentations: Introduce your team to the principles and potential of place-based learning.
Workshops: Interactive, hands-on sessions where teachers learn practical approaches to connect the curriculum with the local environment.
Mini-Workshops: Targeted, quick sessions designed to give teachers a jumpstart on using community-based activities in their classrooms.
Each workshop can include an off-site component, where we explore the unique assets of your school’s surroundings and discuss how to incorporate them into tasks and projects.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
How to approach task design through a place-based lens
Ways to connect students with their surroundings while meeting curriculum goals
Innovative strategies to engage students in real-world problem-solving
HOW TO GET STARTED
