Outdoor Learning Leadership Conference 2026

Based on my interview findings through my doctoral research paired with discussion results from teacher participants at the Outdoor Learning Conference in May of 2026, this session will highlight and problem solve collaboratively around issues being faced in outdoor learning. As leaders, we will identify common issues (such as resources, knowledge, mindset, regulation, building relationships...). These will be aligned with my research findings around elements for success in outdoor experiential learning. As a group, we will seek and analyze potential ways forward through challenges. Together we will collaborate to create a bank of approaches in order to best support educators to take learning outside applicable to our specific contexts.
