Description
We are excited to offer you an opportunity to work with Educated by Nature to develop your confidence in using tools and open-ended materials in everyday experiences with children.
The ability to build and create provides opportunities to develop confidence and independence. Developing an “I can” attitude and saying “YES” to children encourages self-sufficiency and autonomy, which translates to other areas of school and home life and can engage all areas of the curriculum. This workshop empowers teachers to confidently use hand tools and other technical equipment in structured and open-ended learning experiences to enhance student creativity and engagement. Participants will explore the history of Adventure Playgrounds and Loose Parts Theory, learning how to incorporate open-ended materials that stimulate imagination and problem-solving skills in everyday learning experiences. Practical skills are accompanied by the development of risk management techniques and safe practices.
