INTEGRATE THE OUTDOORS INTO YOUR EDUCATION ACTIVITIES TO ENHANCE STUDENT WELL-BEING AND LEARNING OUTCOMES In Wild Learning, veteran educator Rachel Tidd delivers a practical and hands-on collection of activities, projects, and routines that help teachers and homeschooling parents teach core math, reading, and writing skills outdoors. Integrating school grounds, neighborhood environments, local parks, and natural settings into her instructional plans, the author shows you how to achieve significant learning benefits for your students in both rural and heavily urban and developed areas. You'll explore day-to-day activities that revolve around nature and the outdoors, like writing stories based on cloud formations, collecting bundles of sticks to learn place value, using chalk to play word games on pavement, and writing poems to welcome the new season. An illuminating and concrete blueprint for enhancing the learning outcomes of your students, Wild Learning will help you enhance the attention, motivation, engagement, and connection of your learners. It's ideal for teachers, school administrators, and parents who homeschool their children, as well as parents who wish to bring nature into the daily life of their child. In our work to move more students, classes, and schools outdoors--where we know myriad, invaluable benefits await--Rachel Tidd's Wild Learning provides educators with the how-to guide on nature-based learning and outdoor teaching they have been yearning for. Readers will discover the insight, lessons, and concrete examples for the 'what', 'where', 'when', 'how', and 'why' of teaching with nature in integrated ways! --Liza Lowe, Affiliate Faculty, Antioch University New England and Director, Inside-Outside
