Elizabeth Garcia OUTDOOR
PEDAGOGY & All students should have the opportunity to have
hands-on science experiences out in the field that complement science
teaching in the classroom. Being in the outdoors allows students
to explore their natural environment and should be an essential
component of science teaching. Teachers should engage students
in the scientific process in an in depth way that goes beyond a
superficial interaction with scientific facts. HOST
was more than professional development; it was personal enrichment.
We got at the heart of "What is science?" We got to work
individually with a reserve manager with group workshops in between.
It was the perfect blend. I gained a new perspective and new ideas
for research questions that can be done with students. It was great
learning from Claudia Luke, the course instructor, who is herself a
scientist. I received lots of support, too, from Barbara Carlson,
the manager at Motte, and Joesph Messin, the steward.
