Summertime Outdoors - Inquiry Based Learning with Dr Claire Warden #25

We look particularly at the impact the sun can have on us as we work outside. The rating of sunscreen, the importance of working in collaboration with families to make sure children are protected as well as trees and how they absorb harmful rays and create beautiful calm and cool places to work in during the day are also topics of discussionFollow us on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter by searching for Virtual Nature School.NHS Advice on sun saftey.

Welcome to Conversations with Claire where we will be having sharing with all our friends around the world looking through the lens of nature pedagogy, discussing the things that matter to us as educators. Today, with over 25 years as an educator and university lecturer, firsthand experience with hundreds of children, many books written, and a PhD in Education, Dr. Warden brings her pioneering child-led, nature-based methods for educators and families worldwide. Whether we're fascinated by the concepts of nature pedagogy, or are really engaged in inquiry-based learning in general, or Floorbooks in particular. Whatever it is that inspires you, we'd love to have a conversation with you in this podcast. The most important thing for me is that all children are on the planet to flourish. The question is, how do we help them do that. How do we encourage those people that are with young children to see that they are very capable and that when we empower them they can be really strong agents for change.
