Welcome to the 2025 Outdoor Learning Conference

Friday May 9, 2025 11:00am - 12:15pm MDT

Join us for a hands-on and discussion-based workshop where we’ll explore, share, and co-create tools for assessing learning in Environmental and Sustainability Education (ESE). Youth are becoming more engaged in environmental justice and issues in their communities. Yet, challenges persist for educators to provide authentic, interdisciplinary ESE experiences. We will share and explore strategies to deepen ESE teaching and assessment that follows learners’ interests, highlights critical ESE issues but remains consistent with curricular learning goals. With a focus on place-based education (PBE), inquiry, and outdoor learning, participants will deepen their approach to teaching and assessment in ways that foster meaningful connections between students, their communities, and the natural world. This workshop is designed for formal and informal educators seeking innovative ways to facilitate ESE learning for high school students and assess its depth and impact beyond the classroom.
