Teacher training on Nature-inclusive learning at WUR
On October 4th (Animal day!) a newly developed teacher training will start on nature-inclusive learning.
This training was developed collaboratively with TLC and NatureCollege. The training will be part of a livinglab that ELS is setting up around nature inclusive learning - for information will follow soon!
The teacher training has 4 modules spread over the year. We will learn about the meaning(s) and value of nature inclusive education, experience nature inclusive teaching methods and reflect on the attitude and worldviews that underlie a shift towards nature inclusive learning. We will explore how nature-inclusive learning can support cognitive, physical, emotional, spiritual and action-oriented dimensions of learning.
Full series:
- Module 1: onboarding module on nature inclusive education and worldviews regarding human-nature relations. Consisting of self-study and several moments of exchange and reflection
- Module 2: Teaching with nature: exploring and implementing (outdoor) relational teaching methods (2 full days planned for early spring 2025)
- Module 3: Care in the classroom: supporting students in social-environmental responsibility and anxiety (2 half days and one full day planned for late spring/early summer 2025)
- Module 4: course design module on the translation of the learning from earlier models into course design.
