Environmental education and inclusion: Considering learners’ diverse needs when facilitating outdoor learning
This workshop focusses on environmental education that takes into consideration the needs of diverse learners. The purpose is to develop participants’ abilities to plan inclusive experiences whilst using experiential, environmental, and community-based approaches to facilitate learning. Guided by universal design for learning principles, the reflective process will occur by way of a gentle nature walk with participants encountering different “stations” representing challenges-to-learning that students often face (e.g., intellectual, physical, linguistic, cultural, learning disabilities).
