4th Annual Indigenous Education Symposium

Join us for an interactive session grounded in land based learning. Educators will reflect on their own recent outdoor experiences and explore how to design meaningful field trips that center relationships with land, community, and student
Identity. Participants will consider how outdoor learning connects to Indigenous Science Initiative curriculum, including ways to frame pre- and post- learning experiences that will deepen understanding. This session will also highlight what it looks like to
teach in the field, sharing practical tools and strategies for responding to student curiosity, honoring teachable moments, and adapting to the natural flow of learning
Outdoors. Educators will leave with concrete approaches to creating intentional, culturally
grounded, and responsive outdoor learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom.
