| Minnesota teachers learn new ways to bring nature into the classroom
|
Hamline University and the University of Minnesota have launched the state’s first nature-based training for teachers. The program targets educators who may not have access to as much green space to directly translate robust forest learning to a classroom or playground. The program also aims to address opportunity gaps in nature-based learning for students of color and low-income students.
Studies show nature-based education provides benefits for students. It reduces stress, improves attention and mood and supports academic achievement. The field school is getting teachers to think about how they can bring the natural world to their classrooms and the classrooms to nature. | |
