Nature-Based Education Growing
14 Apr, 2016. 0 Comments. Early Education, K-12 Education, National News, News. Posted By: lncigc

Green schoolyards provide a sensory-rich environment for learning which is shown to help students focus their attention and increase their engagement, while providing a myriad of physical and mental health benefits.  Two recent news stories highlight nature-based learning:  The Cincinnati Enquirer reported on a Forest Kindergarten in Yellow Springs, Ohio and the CBS Morning Show featured author Richard Louv at the Chattahoochee Charter School, a nature-based school where test scores are exceeding both the national and regional averages.  Leave No Child Inside is working with local schools to encourage outdoor learning and we look forward to announcing progress on that front in the coming months!  In the meantime, please enjoy these two recent news items.
