COEO Webinar – Outdoor Education for Kindergarten in 2020/21
Thursday, July 9th at 7:00pm – REGISTRATION IS NOW FULL.
As summer 2020 begins, many of us are beginning to think about what our return to school could look like. At 7 pm on Thursday, July 9th, COEO will be hosting a Zoom webinar in support of teachers who wish to take their JK/SK students OUTSIDE in the coming year! Can that even be possible? Yes! With the right tools and knowledge in your backpack, we know outdoor school programs can be safe and grounded in solid teaching pedagogy. In fact, we want you to hear directly from teachers already doing this work in the context of a regular public school, and in the private sector/Forest School setting. The biographies of our incredible panel of presenters are below. Each panelist will present for a short time and then we will offer time for discussion of several of the common questions submitted by registrants within the remaining time. Our panel of seasoned outdoor educators taking part in this live, online discussion includes:
Barbara Sheridan – Barbara Sheridan founded and has been lead teacher for Barrie Forest And Natural Learning School for almost a decade. She is currently teaching inquiry, problem based and project based learning online as well. She has more than 20 years of experience teaching preschool and school age children and staff using child directed social and play skills, child specific and child centred programming and training other professionals in the same approach. She has completed level 3 of Forest School Kindergarten teacher training from Cedarsong with Erin Kenny. She also has her Child and Youth Worker Diploma and a BA in psychology. She is currently finishing her coursework for her Masters in Education (Sustainable Education) with a focus on self-directed learning including inquiry, problem based and project based learning.
Lisa Graham – Lisa is a Kindergarten teacher in Halton District School Board who has presented her outdoor classroom initiative at COEO conferences, and who is also one of the co-authors of, “Into Nature” teaching guide! Lisa set up a weekly Kindergarten Forest School program in two HDSB schools, while mentoring and providing professional development for teachers of grades k through 8, throughout her school board. Some of her sessions focused especially on getting out in the winter months, which we know some of you will be wondering about!
Chantal Lariviere – Since 1997, Chantal has taught in the French speaking public school board in Ottawa, the CEPEO. Convinced that every child is competent , and most of all curious, she uses inquiry-based learning to enhance her students’ learning experiences both in and outside of the classroom. From dissecting owl pellets to collecting slush on the corner of the street, students figure out various ways to answer their questions. In 2015, Chantal was recognized by her peers, receiving Capital Educators’ Awards and the Bernard Brandmaitre award. Passionately curious and always on the quest to learn, you will always see her with a new pedagogical resource in her hand! Loving nature and inquiry based learning, it was an obvious choice for her to explore land based education and play in her practice, and to join Forest School Canada!
Julie McLean – Julie found her love for the natural world when, as a child, she moved from wandering the open fields and forests of Northern Ontario to the big city of Ottawa. To fill the void this change had left, she joined the scout movement and has since been involved as a leader. Through different experiences with the scouts, Julie has come to discover the magic that comes with connecting children with nature. After finishing her B.Ed, Julie went on to l’Universite Laval to study the development of children’s environmental sensitivity influenced by their time spent in nature. She has since worked as a teacher in Nunavik and Ontario, gardening with kids and working to create a sense of wonder for the natural world. In 2016, Julie set up a Forest School program for all students attending École élémentaire et secondaire publique Rivière Rideau. She is now coordinating this program, all while mentoring other teachers in the school to integrate Forest school principles in their all around teaching practice. Julie is also passionate about developing forest school resources in French and hopes to be ale to offer French workshops for all French speaking educators in Canada.
Kendra Martin – Kendra founded the Little Falls Forest School in 2013 in St. Mary’s Ontario, where she remains a lead teacher providing workshops to fellow educators on how to “take the learning outdoors”. In 2015, she was awarded the Outstanding K-12 Teacher Award by the Canadian Network for Environmental Education and Communication. She also writes for Green Teacher. Her background prior to teaching was in Outdoor Education at The Rocky Mountain YMCA and Program Coordinator for Canada World Youth Thailand Exchange program.
Due to overwhelming interest, this webinar is now FULL. Deb will send out the Zoom invitation to the first 100 registrants. However, please note, a recording of this webinar will be made available after the live event. Keep an eye on COEO’s social media platforms for access to the webinar recording.
Outdoor Education Online Resources During COVID-19
Outdoor programs have a duty to care for their participants and must implement effective COVID-19 adaptations. To facilitate this process, the Outdoor Council of Canada has posted a collection of guidelines and supporting documentation HERE. *NOTE* – These documents related to outdoor activities come from a diversity of sources and each program will have to refer to and use the provincial and regional government guidelines that are most relevant to their particular context.
Association of Experiential Education (AEE) has launched a series of open space roundtable forums for experiential educators to come together and chat informally in a shared space of collaboration, support, and connection. All are welcome from any area of practice or interest! No membership is required to participate.

COVID-19 Research Study – Impact on Outdoor Recreation
Around March 17, 2020, most provinces and territories in Canada implemented stay-at-home,
physical distancing strategies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This immediately
impacted the way Canadians were able to engage in recreation and leisure activities.
In an attempt to gain insight into Canadians’ outdoor recreation practices before, during and after
the start of COVID-19, researchers from the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies at
Brock University, Dr. Tim O’Connell and Dr. Garrett Hutson, and ALIVE Outdoors, Dr. Ryan Howard, collaborated to collect data and hope that the results of this study will illuminate the impacts of COVID-19 on Canadian outdoor recreationists and provide information to land managers, politicians, and recreationists that is helpful in making decisions as we move through this pandemic. Read the Initial Research Report HERE and see the infographic below for key findings from Phase 1 of the research study.
If you would like to participate in the next phase of the survey, go to: COVID-19 & Outdoor Recreation in Canada – Phase 2 No previous participation is necessary. Survey closes July 10th, 2020. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Dr. Tim O’Connell, Principal Investigator at: tim.oconnell@brocku.ca More information is available at www.aliveoutdoors.com/research
COVID-Inspired Outdoor Adventure
When COVID-19 cancelled their summer jobs as camp counsellors, six Toronto friends decided they would use their outdoor wilderness skills and experience for a good cause. The recent high school graduates — who all met at Camp Ahmek in Algonquin Park — decided to embark on a 60-day, 2,000-kilometre canoe trip through Ontario. The group is already more than halfway towards its goal of raising $60,000 in funds for Food Banks Canada and Indigenous communities affected by COVID-19. Check out the CBC News story and video HERE and follow along the journey @Canoe4Covid and #Canoe4Covid. Donations can be made HERE on the Canoe4Covid website.
Get Kids Paddling – Interactive Map Project
Want to help get more kids paddling? Click HERE to complete a short survey and your testimonial will become part of an online Interactive Map.

By showcasing these stories publicly on an Interactive Google Map, the hope is to highlight the value of these types of experiences and promote the future of paddling in Ontario. Survey participation is open to all ages, lived experiences and ability level and should take 10-20 minutes to complete.
LSF Call to Action for Outdoor Education
COVID-19 presents an opportunity for Canadian schools to embed learning outdoors as part of our culture of education, both for the short-term benefits of better infection control and the long-term benefits of outdoor learning for our children’s physical and mental health and academic success.
Please review the Call to Action for Outdoor Learning that Pamela Schwartzberg, President and CEO of
Learning for a Sustainable Future, recently sent to Ministers and Deputy Ministers of Education, teachers’ federations and school boards across Canada.
You are invited to take this letter, modify it to include your specific organization’s offerings, and send it to Ministers and Deputy Ministers of Education, teachers’ federations and school boards in your networks. Learning for a Sustainable Future (LSF) would appreciate their leadership on the call to be acknowledged in the letter, in some way! From experience, we know that it is more impactful if decision-makers get 25 emails with the same message, rather than one email with multiple signatories. Please share this call to action widely!
Support for Conservation Authorities – Letter to Premier Ford
Recently, the provincial government asked for public input on the role of Conservation Authorities (CAs). Over 100 organizations signed a letter voicing support for the role of CAs in land-use planning, permitting, monitoring, stewardship and education, standing together to resist the trend towards environmental deregulation in Ontario. These organizations included nature and environmental groups, agricultural groups, land trusts, and recreation organizations as well as businesses, engineers, and the private sector. The letter of support for the Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities asking the government to retain their current mandate can be found HERE
