Team Building

Whether you're trying to bond a new team, boost workplace culture and productivity, or simply have a fun day together - I can help! Simply let me know what your goals are and I can customize a half-day, full-day, or week-long team building session for you and your crew that is meaningful and transformative.

Teaching Pedagogy

Research shows people learn best when they are engaged in activities that are active and social, connect to their prior knowledge, and allow for making choices. Unfortunately, academic institutions and outdoor science programs are only now starting to shift towards this approach. Is your team ready and prepared to start being the "guide on the side" and not the "sage on the stage"?

Bring me on board to train your staff on how to engage learners with research-backed, transformative approaches to student learning. Sessions can be single or multi-day and will include resources for ongoing feedback and coaching.

Understanding State Standards

NGSS. PEs. DCIs. CCCs. SEPS. Common Core. ELA. California EP&Cs. The 5E Instructional Model. 

It's easy to get lost in a sea of academic acronyms, but with my support, you'll soon be headed in the right direction. I offer interactive training sessions to help your team fully understand the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the Common Core, and the California Environmental Concepts & Principles (EP&Cs) - and most importantly, how to integrate, apply, and market this information in your programming.
