A school year built around a plan — not a hopeful bet.
Whole-staff outdoor learning PD that's still running in June, not just September.
I hear the same story everywhere I go: a great PD day, everyone claps, and by October it's back to business as usual.
Or two teachers on staff are already doing this beautifully, while twenty more feel like they missed the memo.
Outdoor learning shouldn't live or die with one enthusiastic champion — or one afternoon.
You don't need another inspiring keynote. You need a plan that survives past October.
Most outdoor learning PD is a nice-to-have day that inspires people for an afternoon.
The Teach Outdoors School Series is different: it's a year-long system. You're not buying a training — you're buying a school culture. And culture needs a calendar, not a keynote.
Four seasonal touchpoints, mapped to the rhythm of your actual school year.
Routines, Expectations & Strategies
Solving the chaos fear first, before anything else is even attempted.
The 4 Core Nature Routines
The framework for your outdoor learning time — the actual repeatable structure your staff can lean on all year.
Inclusion & UDL
Landing exactly when our classroom community has been built and our learner profiles can really start to take shape.
Assessment & Documentation
Landing right as report cards loom and curriculum-anxiety peaks.
If you live near, or can find your way here, to the Lower Mainland of British Columbia - please come join us to celebrate together!
The moment "PD we did" becomes "who we are now."
You will also receive monthly detailed lesson plans with curriculum connections for K-7, landing in your inbox — no building it yourself.
All sessions are delivered live, virtually — with recordings sent out the following day for anyone who can't make it.
Remember to replace these placeholder testimonials with real reviews from your customers.
One-off PD days deliver a single hit of inspiration with zero reinforcement — there's no second touchpoint to catch teachers who tried once and had a rough day.
Generic outdoor ed resources hand teachers isolated ideas, not routines — so nothing repeats reliably enough to become "just how we teach."
Sending one or two staff to a conference builds one champion, not a staff-wide culture.
The School Series is different because it's an arc, not an event — with a checkpoint built in for every point where momentum normally dies. And because it's delivered to the whole staff, everyone gets the same starting line, at the same time, in the same language. Nobody's left comparing themselves to "the outdoor learning teacher.
Schools already running this framework are seeing it show up in real ways — staff report more joy and more collaboration, not just more time outside.
Why It's Different?
Led by a current K–5 classroom teacher — not a former one.
Every routine in this series is field-tested in Lauren's own garden and forest-edge classroom before it ever reaches your staff. This isn't theory handed down from the sidelines — it's what's actually working in a real classroom, right now.
