Workshop Description:
  • 1 Hour Workshop
  • Pre-recorded

Who is David Sobel and what are his 7 Design Principles for Children and Nature? Just as Howard Gardner had identified a set of intelligence for children, David Sobel, a place-based educator, identified a set of play themes that emerge when children experience free time in nature. In this workshop, I invite you to use Sobel’s principles either as a guide to help plan learning experiences with children of all ages or as an assessment tool for evaluating your outdoor classroom and/or backyard teaching garden designs. Sobel notes that the principles are not linked to any specific developmental age but will appear differently as the child grows older. Come learn how to apply these principles to your Outdoor Classroom.
