Welcome to the 2025 Outdoor Learning Conference
Friday May 9, 2025 3:15pm - 4:30pm MDT
This session considers how the design of in-service educators can support deep, meaningful, and transformative learning. It will introduce research that examines educators’ experiences in a program called Spring TIPS (Teaching Imagination in Place), exploring in practice and theory the principles of Relationality, Immersion, and Affect upon which this program was based (Judson & Datura, 2023). By introducing some principles that bring into focus what it means to learn with/in/and for the natural world and what may be required to ensure this learn supports unlearning and new learning, this session will offer practical insights to anyone seeking to support transformational learning in their own contexts.
