Dartmouth's location in the Upper Valley and access to surrounding mountains, rivers, and forests offer a unique opportunity for teaching and learning outdoors. Outdoor experiences can be enriching ways to engage students, promote wellbeing, and deepen learning. However, they also introduce unique considerations for instructors and students alike. In this session, the Outdoor Programs Office's Katie Colleran and Dan Pfistner Krahn will guide instructors in exploring key factors to consider when planning outdoor learning experiences. This session will convene in DCAL (Baker 102) and move outdoors (briefly and weather-permitting) near Baker Library. Please wear outdoor-appropriate clothing and footwear. Please notify us when registering of any accessibility needs or considerations. Lunch will be provided.

Register here.

Consider also attending Designing Outdoor Learning Experiences as a follow-on to this session!
