Advanced Instructional Strategies for Place-based Environmental
Education
Instructor: Karla Bradley
More about Karla
Course Goals:
- To give MOSS field instructors a foundation in instructional
strategies appropriate for inquiry-based science learning in the
outdoor classroom
- To build field instructors' connections to ecological communities
around MOSS and help them build students' connections to the land
- To create a learning community that fosters the growth of
reflective practitioners
Instructional Style:
This course assumes that each instructor at MOSS will bring a wealth of
knowledge and experience in the fields of science and education. As
such, learning interactions among peers are critical to the success of
this learning experience. There will be opportunities for both
individual and group work; interaction among instructors will be
actively encouraged in all projects. As instructor for this course,
my aim is to serve as a resource for students in their personal
development as a field instructor. Although I have outlined topics
that I think are relevant and important to this development, I
encourage students to bring me their ideas and negotiate content with
me.
