Taking Learning Outside
The classroom is everywhere—including the great outdoors.
While the benefits of outdoor education are well documented, many teachers face significant hurdles, such as administrator concerns, lack of gear, or personal discomfort with the outdoors.
Author Rina Zampieron, a seasoned naturalist and Mass Audubon educator, addresses these challenges directly. Instead of simply "adding on" extra activities, she shows how to weave nature into the core of your teaching using the five Habits of Mind—focus, making connections, communication, collaboration, and strategic thinking.
Co-published with Teacher's College Press and Mass Audubon, this work combines academic rigor with hands-on, classroom-tested strategies. Learn more about early education resources with Mass Audubon
