Outdoor Learning GrantsJoin us to learn more from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) on their recently released grant opportunity!Friday, June 2, 2023 | 1:00 PM - 1:45 PM The Washington State Legislature funded the Outdoor Learning Grants program, administered by the Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, with the goal to develop and support outdoor educational experiences for students in Washington public schools. All children deserve access to outdoor spaces where they can learn, play, and grow, but access to outdoor educational opportunities is inequitable. From reducing stress to improving mental and physical health, outdoor-based learning helps kids thrive. Research shows that kids who participate in outdoor educational activities are more likely to graduate, are better behaved in school, and have more relationships with peers, higher academic achievement, more critical thinking skills, and more direct experience of scientific concepts in the field. They also have better leadership and collaboration skills and a deeper engagement with learning, place, and community. Join Zoom MeetingMeeting ID: 931 9859 1711 |
