Whole-staff, year-long outdoor learning PD - four live sessions, one shared culture. Most outdoor learning PD is one great afternoon that evaporates by October. This is different: built like group coaching for your whole staff - not a one-off keynote. By June, outdoor learning isn't "that thing two teachers do." It's just how your school teaches.
Explore my nature-themed picture books and non-fiction resources designed to inspire curiosity, connection, and outdoor learning in students of all ages.
Bring the magic of outdoor learning to your classroom with interactive author visits—online, in-person, or even a full-day nature workshop. Students explore storytelling, publishing, and hands-on outdoor activities guided by me.
Testimonials highlighting the impact of these books in classrooms and homes.
"As a longtime teacher educator, I use the resources that Lauren has developed with my pre-service teachers. They are readily accessible with little prep and a multitude of opportunities to extend and connect learning, as they develop their beginning practice and pedagogy, making outdoor learning feel both achievable and purposeful."

"Love love love this book! A great read-aloud for students as an introduction to sit spots or revisit this book often to deepen students' connections to land! An excellent read for all children and adults - it has the perfect balance of interesting pictures, nature facts, and provocation questions to get you thinking & wondering! Highly recommend you adding this to your library collection!"

"Received your wonderful (and exceptionally well-wrapped book) and found it delightful. Such an ambitious project, to explain the importance of kids finding a place in nature to centre themselves and study their thoughts in real time. As a consistent meditator, I found its message so powerful. I know a first book is such a thrill. Thanks so much for sharing Me and My Sit Spot."
