Every Teacher can be a Natural Teacher |
|
|
|
|
As a teacher, your ability to creatively engage your students with the natural world in their everyday lives can make a huge difference in their health, well-being, and capacity to learn.
Together with families, neighborhoods, and communities, you can play a vital role in getting kids outdoors and helping overcome the epidemic of childhood obesity, growing incidence of ADHD, and increasing rates of school drop outs. Every teacher can be a Natural Teacher and make a positive difference in a child’s life.
