Dutta OUTDOOR
PEDAGOGY & Students have different methods of learning. Some
are tactile, visual, or oral learners. Unfortunately, our education
system does not support all the different types of learners. Outdoor
education not only incorporates numerous methods of learning but is more
engaging. Teaching outdoors allows students to be free and open to
learning (which often they don't realize). This in turn, makes it
fun for me, too! The environment is what I'm passionate about, so I
really enjoy teaching about it. HOST was great for beginning teachers like me - and
experienced ones too! I couldn't believe I got to spend my summer
outside. Starting with "What is science?" took me
back to my roots. I felt like a student. Although I spent
several weeks at Big Creek, I was never bored. It was a nonstop
experience - overwhelming total immersion!" The HOST Program gave me increased confidence in being
an outdoor science educator. I learned methods and techniques to
teaching often tricky subjects in an eloquent way. |
