Creating an effective lesson plan is an integral part in delivering instruction. A well formulated lesson plan provides a guide for managing the learning environment. In this workshop, the importance of preparation by completing a needs analysis and creating learning outcomes will be explored. The participants will examine suggested elements in a lesson plan as well as an effective lesson plan template. The plan will identify what you will teach, how you will deliver the material, and how the outcomes are measured. This session will enable participants to design and implement an effective lesson plan to meet the diverse needs of learners.

Workshop runs from 10:50 a.m. - 11:40 a.m.

Join us this spring for an evening and full day as we continue to share the beauty of nature and it’s vital importance to our wellness. You will engage in conversations and presentations that affect children, youth and adults. Our multi-discipline approach brings together exciting information from educators, researchers, horticulturalists and occupational therapists. Please join us for some springtime
rejuvenation and inspiration!

“Time in nature is not leisure time; it’s an essential investment in our children’s health (and also, by the way, in our own.)….By taking nature experiences out of the leisure column and placing it in the health column, we are more likely to take our children on that hike-more likely to, well, have fun.”

- Richard Louv
