Classroom Teachers
Extension of the Classroom:
The Outdoor School functions as an extension of the classroom. Our faculty
strives to build upon and complement your curriculum through both pre and
post experience interactions, as well as in the collaborative delivery
of The Outdoor School programs.
By design, our programs reinforce and extend classroom activities. The classroom teacher is the connecting link between the classroom and the students' outdoor school experience. Participating teachers gain new insights about their students, meaningful connections between the outdoor experience and activities experienced in the classroom, and the opportunity to change the environment of the classroom.
The Outdoor School Instructors specialize in residential outdoor schooling and collaborate with the classroom teachers to design curriculum. Curriculum is delivered by The Outdoor School faculty with the direct participation of the classroom teacher.
Expectations:
Each classroom teacher will take advantage of The Outdoor School faculty to
design a curriculum program to fulfill individual needs of the classroom
teacher. Classroom teachers are expected to spend the night with their
students and use professional, positive attitudes just as they would in
the classroom. The classroom teacher serves as the liaison in securing
required forms from students and their parents.
