Educators get outside at outdoor, experiential workshop
On October 25, CBEEN partnered with the Rocky Mountain Place-based Learning Network – a local chapter of EEPSA – to host outdoor teacher Matthias Starzner, in facilitating the Cross-curricular Outdoor, Experiential Teaching and Learning Workshop.

- Cross-curricular links, STEAM projects, core competencies, career education and ADST
- Discussions of social, emotional and community building
- Discovery of lessons shaped with collaboration and team work in mind
- Considering Indigenous ways of knowing/storytelling assessment.
- Learn about βDesign Slamsβ
