In the hands of a skilled interpreter, an ordinary leaf, rock, or twig becomes a window into an extraordinary world of meaning, understanding, and appreciation. In this class, you’ll learn the theory behind different teaching approaches and explore powerful techniques to bring learning to life. From identifying birds at a family outing, to teaching in formal settings, to advocating for environmental causes you care about, you’ll build the essential skills to more effectively and more confidently share your knowledge in deep and meaningful ways. Whether you’re an experienced naturalist or newly nature curious, if you want to share your nature insights in ways that truly resonate with other people, this class is for you! There are no required books for this course; all readings will be shared via a class Google Drive.
