Each academic year, our field courses will follow an arc of learning, from introducing skills\/concepts of field science and the scientific method to holding learners accountable for acquiring and analysing new & prior information in order to share it with their classmates. Around this scaffold, topics across the geosciences, biological sciences, chemistry, physics, ecology, botany, and history will be illuminated in a multi-age setting that allows for introductory exposure to the topics as well as shared learning and in-depth exploration.<\/p>\n
These are Indigenous- and Black-led, land-based teachings that include a settler co-instructor. The class will be taught with these frames in mind with whatever guest perspectives as are topical.<\/p>\n
Using a mastery learning approach, learners are assessed on where they started with the topics and where they end up after each successive field trip. You can expect single and multi-day trips planned under the general headings of Field Geology and Integrated Field Sciences.<\/p>\n
We encourage a multi-age learning environment and only ask that the kids are willing to take guidance on appropriate group behavior and individual safety actions with or without support.<\/p>\n
In our inaugural field class, the kids ranged in age from 5 to 12yo. The class was an introduction to mycology. Sprinkled with quaternary seismology, dendrology, and materials science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
