Marnie Steele
One of my favorite COpilot classes! I loved getting outside myself and I was able to incorporate activities with my students right away.
Vincent Bono
One of the most outstanding classes I have taken. Practical and engaging, it forced me to reexamine how I approach literacy in my Outdoor Living and Anthropology classes. I will definitely incorporate what I learned into all of my units!
Gayla Ruckhaus
This course forced me to be fully present while in nature instead of ruminating. I developed observational and inquiry skills that surpassed my training as a visual artist. I was able to develop some new/revised lessons/units for my students as well.
