COUNCIL OF OUTDOOR LEARNING
|
The Council of Outdoor Learning (CoOL) is an EEA initiative focusing on the design, development, use, and sustainability of outdoor learning environments on school campuses. CoOL hosts the annual Outdoor Learning Symposium to share resources and strategies for teaching outdoors, provides resources for those who want to create outdoor classrooms or learning stations, and curates a collection of outdoor learning activities that are integrated with state standards. Below are links to some of the past OLS presentations and materials.
