Initiatives

Outdoor and Ecological Learning qathet School District initiatives assist teachers to teach the curriculum outside, and ensure students have the opportunity to learn outside. Our initiatives support learners and their personal growth as environmentally and socially responsible citizens.   

Distinct initiatives that support our commitment to outdoor and ecological learning include:

1) Outdoor Learning Scope and Sequence

The Outdoor Learning Scope and Sequence is intended to provide students across the grades with a memorable outdoor learning experience each year. These day-long, curricular field experiences are enriched by complimentary resources for teachers to use in their classrooms or nearby nature, before and after their outing. Some of the Scope and Sequence field experiences are offered in partnership with our INED team. These experiences focus on hands-on Traditional Ecological Knowledge.

2) Resource Spotlight Series

These workshops feature high-grade outdoor learning resources and are offered alongside teachers and their students, supporting teachers in their objective to take their classroom learning outside.

3) Grab and Go Bins

Developed in partnership with Wild BC, these outdoor and hands-on learning bins target grades K-6 and can be accessed via the Outdoor Learning Center for use either onsite at the OLC, or in town on the school grounds and beyond.
