The Outdoor Learning Podcast
A podcast about Outdoor Learning that brings together research and real-world experience teaching outside.
Derek and Chris, two experienced outdoor educators, have conversations with each other and other outdoor educators about various practical aspects of using outdoor learning. Our goal is to provide educators who are new to outdoor learning and those who are experienced with ideas on how to start using the outdoor environment in their education practice and ways to expand how to use it more.
