Synopsis:                It is a common misconception that teachers need to know a lot about nature in order to take their students outside.  This is not true!  During this workshop, we will share techniques to bring nature into the classroom, to instill a sense of wonder in your students, and for guiding students during outdoor explorations.  We will introduce you to Rachel Carson’s pivotal work, The Sense of Wonder, and Richard Louv’s book, Last Child in the Woods.  Every teacher will receive a free copy of Richard Louv’s book upon completion of the workshop.
