ISBN: 9781605540245.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outdoors is full of rich learning experiences for preschool and pre-kindergarten children. Lens on Outdoor Learning is filled with stories and colorful photographs that illustrate how the outdoors supports childrens early learning. Each story is connected to an early learning standard such as curiosity and initiative; engagement and persistence; imagination, invention, and creativity; reasoning and problem-solving; risk-taking, responsibility, and confidence; reflection, application, and interpretation; and flexibility and resilience. Much of the teaching in these experiences is indirect and involves provisioning, observing, and conversing with children as they spend quality time in nature. Childrens dialogue and actions are included in each story to show just how engaged they became during these experiences. Lens on Outdoor Learning will inspire early childhood professionals to use this outdoor approach in their own setting.\nWendy Banning is coordinator of Irvin Learning Farm, an inquiry-based, hands-on outdoor learning space for children and adults in North Carolina. She is also an educational consultant, teacher, trainer, and photographer.\nGinny Sullivan is co-principal of Learning by the Yard, a partnership of landscape architects and educators that helps schools develop their grounds as habitat, focusing on native plants. Ginny consults, trains teachers, and involves schools and centers in the design of their outdoor spaces to help children learn about the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Redleaf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256972894261,"sku":"ByrdShop_1605540242","price":59.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781605540245_3413fbb7-e4be-47ff-83bf-7d09e8620cc1.jpg?v=1781280479","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lens-on-outdoor-learning-9781605540245","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
