Empowering Teachers With Thrive Outside and Author Visits

Lauren MacLean Season 3 Episode 9

In this episode of the Teach Outdoors podcast, I’m diving into two exciting topics: the Thrive Outside program and author visits. Whether it’s helping teachers bring outdoor learning into their classrooms or connecting with students through storytelling, these experiences are at the heart of what I do.

First, I’m sharing all about Thrive Outside: Grow Your Teaching Space, a 5-week pilot course designed to help you build confidence and creativity in outdoor learning. I’ll walk you through how this course offers hands-on, step-by-step strategies to create meaningful outdoor experiences for both you and your students.

Next, I take you behind the scenes of what an author visit looks like, from preparing for the event to sharing my book Me and My Sit Spot with students. Whether in-person or virtual, my author visits are all about bringing stories, nature, and interactive learning to classrooms across Canada.

Tune in to hear how author visits go beyond just reading books, how the writing process comes to life, and how you can book your own author visit or learn more about Thrive Outside.
