Out Teach enters into a three-year partnership. In the first year, we design and build a state-of-the-art Outdoor Learning Lab containing at least 12 distinct learning tools to encourage hands-on learning and the development of 21st century skills, such as earth-science stations, small animal and bird habitats, weather stations, and more, for schools without existing spaces for outdoor learning. The space also includes a covered outdoor classroom with whiteboard and seating for 25 students. Each Outdoor Learning Lab is built through a dynamic, one-day event—the Big Dig—uniting students, teachers, parents, and community partners around the new outdoor space and building support for students’ academic success. Following the Big Dig, partner schools enter our signature two-year professional learning program to ensure the impact and sustainability of the Learning Lab and empower teachers to use the outdoors for academic instruction, infusing science and experiential learning into the core subjects of Math and ELA and leading to increased student engagement and improved academic outcomes.
