Welcome to the 2025 Outdoor Learning Conference
Friday May 9, 2025 2:00pm - 3:15pm MDT
In our session we will be exploring the traditional teachings around eels in the Mi'kmaw culture while weaving this knowledge together with cross-curricular outcomes from varying topics in science, math, language and social studies. This is meant to be a template for a fully developed unit that fits into a Land & Sea Based Learning Guide that can be adapted by teachers to fit their grade and specific classroom. The guide will be organized around the cultural activities, rather than the outcomes, in order to demonstrate how a land-based activity can bring together different topics and subjects in a way that makes more sense to learners. How to adapt the teachings and learning experiences to specific grades and school settings, as well as how to evaluate the learning experiences will also be discussed.
