Creating Community through Expeditionary Learning

www.edutopia.org is an AMAZING website with tons of resources for "what works in public education" (that's their catch phrase). I've embedded one of the many inspiring videos, but encourage you to watch more.

Creating Community through Expeditionary Learning

This video is about a teacher in Portland, Main that emphasizes the importance of building a safe and engaging learning enviornment. She also connects Outdoor Ed to the urban setting through interactive real world problem solving. Students must work together to accomplish the end goal. This builds community and a severe sense of accountability. I love her passion.
