Let Nature Be Your Teacher: Integrating Nature-Based Learning in the Elementary Classroom advocates for a transformative shift in elementary education through incorporating nature-based learning into the curriculum. In an era dominated by indoor education and heightened screen time, Louise Ammentorp and Helen M. Corveleyn respond to the urgent need to reconnect children with nature. This book aims to gray the boundary between indoor and outdoor learning, bringing students outdoors as well as bringing nature inside.
Supported by a growing body of research in a flourishing movement for nature-based learning, this book highlights ways to incorporate authentic experiences across content areas. Each chapter offers vetted lesson and activity ideas that can be adapted to any classroom. Let Nature Be Your Teacher aims to inspire educators, parents, and administrators and equip them with the tools and knowledge to prioritize nature-based learning, fostering a generation that values and protects our natural world.
Let Nature Be Your Teacher: Integrating Nature-Based Learning in the Elementary Classroom is a transformative guide for educators, offering innovative strategies to bring the classroom outdoors and nature into the curriculum. This book is a journey towards nurturing young minds’ connection with our planet and fostering environmental stewardship. -- Courtney Baxter, The Nature Conservancy
