Join a growing network of leaders looking to create meaningful change and support outdoor learning at a school system level

Introduction

Take Me Outside (TMO) invites school system leaders across Canada to join the Outdoor Learning Leadership Network. This community brings together school system leaders engaged in advancing outdoor learning into curriculum and teaching practices. We gather seasonally and provide a space for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and exchanging best practices to grow outdoor learning at a systems level.

In year two, we will continue to explore Indigenous Ways of Knowing, health and wellbeing, environmental education, and literacy and math, focusing on strategies for success, while addressing potential barriers. Guest facilitators will invite us to reflect and discuss diverse perspectives within our own educational contexts.

Who is welcome: 
  • Senior School District / Division Leadership
  • Superintendents
  • Directors 
  • District Administrators 
  • School Principals & Vice-Principals 
  • Senior System Administrators (Secretary Treasurers, Facilities, HR, etc.)
  • And any other positions that entail system-level influence
