Lauren led a full-day Outdoor Learning Pro D for our very urban school, and it was one of the most energizing learning days we’ve had. She skillfully supported a staff with mixed buy-in and helped us reimagine our concrete- heavy schoolyard, mapping out spaces that could genuinely work for outdoor learning.
Her station activities were a standout. She had 80 adults fully engaged, collaborating, and loving the experience. Those stations even inspired our PAC to purchase materials such as nature guides, compasses and outdoor stools, so we could continue the outdoor excitement with our students
In a neighbourhood where outdoor time is precious, Lauren gave us clarity, confidence, and practical ways to bring learning outside. Our staff is still talking about it. She’s exceptional. Every school should have the chance to learn from her.
Lauren’s keynote was both grounding and inspiring. She spoke with honesty about the real barriers teachers face and offered a clear, hopeful vision for what outdoor learning can look like in everyday school settings. You could feel the mindset shift happening in the room as educators began to see new possibilities for their own practice.
Everyone at my table agreed that we loved that she is a current, practicing teacher, so she truly knows what it’s like to be teaching “these days.” Her ideas were incredibly inspirational, and she broke them down into simple steps and gave great examples from her own classroom - making it seem very realistic and do-able!
Her breakout sessions were equally powerful. We left with practical routines, adaptable lesson ideas, and the confidence to try something new the very next day. It was an amazing day that left us feeling very energized!
Lauren’s workshop struck the perfect balance between inspiration and practicality. She created a welcoming, playful learning environment where every educator—regardless of experience or comfort level outdoors—felt capable, supported, and included. Her ability to meet staff where they were helped build confidence and curiosity, even among those who were initially hesitant.
Her hands-on activities, thoughtful facilitation, and deep understanding of outdoor pedagogy made the learning meaningful and immediately applicable. Teachers appreciated the clear connections to curriculum, as well as the time and space to collaborate, reflect, and imagine what outdoor learning could look like in their own contexts.
Our staff left energized, aligned, and excited to take learning outside. The impact of her work continues to ripple through our classrooms and school culture, shaping how we think about place-based learning, student engagement, and the role of nature in our daily practice.
