Green Schoolyards – Webinar

DATE: June 6, 2018
TIME: 12pm – 1pm Central Time

Educating in the Outdoors
Green schoolyards inspire children to be more active, attentive and inquisitive, while decreasing stress and anxiety, elevating mood, and improving social emotional development. Green, multi-functional schoolyards also inherently serve as an ideal venue for hands-on learning across subjects, building knowledge through sensory exploration and experiential discovery.

Jeanne McCarty with REAL School Gardens and Anna Dutke from Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools in Minnesota, will talk about how their programs successfully activate the schoolyard to help students and teachers reap all of these benefits (and many more) during school hours.
