Association for Environmental & Outdoor education |
AEOE strengthens environmental education in California by connecting providers, building professional expertise, and championing environmental literacy and outdoor learning.
In addition to workshops and webinars on a variety of topics offered in collaboration with our partners (click here to see the upcoming offerings), AEOE offers more in-depth online courses for deeper learning and exploration of topics related to environmental education. Courses are typically offered over a six-week period, with course work completed asynchronously. Courses typically take 12-15 hours to complete. We utilize Moodle as our learning platform. Upcoming courses are listed below.
ACCESSIBLE BY NATURE: DESIGNING ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION TO SUPPORT ALL LEARNERS
This course uses the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to guide the design of learning environments that are accessible and challenging for all, rather than making modifications for individual students. UDL improves and optimizes teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn, giving all students equal opportunity to succeed. This course is designed to encourage you to reflect deeply on your practice to focus on how you plan and teach to support all learners. The course content and associated assignments are geared towards practicing environmental and outdoor educators. We hope this course will inspire you to strengthen your pedagogical practices so they are more welcoming, inclusive, and accessible.
Upon completion, registrants are eligible to purchase one graduate-level credit from University of San Diego ($79 paid separately).
