OUTDOOR
PEDAGOGY & All students are extraordinarily intelligent. They are
intelligent in many different ways. It is our job as teachers to
discover the best way for each student to learn and express what they
have learned. It is also a teacher's task to seek out resources
and opportunities for our students. One thing I've learned from
[HOST] is how to conduct open ended field work where students answer
their own questions via research projects. I recommend this program to
anyone interested in access to protected places and willing to put time
in. The infrastructure of HOST and the NRS reserves makes it
easy. It's not like camping. You can spend a minimal amount of
time keeping house and spend lots of time learning. I got the
perfect amount of support from researchers. I enjoyed checking in
with other teachers, stuffing animals, netting bats, radio-tracking island
foxes, and scoping out sites to take my students on Santa Cruz Island and
in the water. I had great experiences with the manager, Lyndal
Laughrin, but I also enjoyed spending time alone. We were a perfect
fit, and I loved the experience. I can't wait to go back there with
my students.
