Teaching Ideas and Activities for using Sit Spots

Tuesday, February 25th – 4pm Pacific

Sitting in nature with students is not just a way to pass the time. The sit spot pedagogy is grounded in educational research literature and proven to engage students, deepen their core subject and interpersonal skills and build relationships with themselves and the world around them. 

In this workshop, presenter Lauren MacLean will build on her picture book work ‘Me and My Sit Spot’ to share her new educator’s guide on how to implement the sit spot pedagogy, whatever your experience level of outdoor learning is. Suitable for primary and intermediate level educators, Lauren will introduce the framework beneath sit spot pedagogy, how to get started, and how to build your practice including weekly sit spot activities and connections to the First Peoples’ Principles of Learning.
