Teaching for All: Making Outdoor Learning Accessible and Inclusive

• Lauren MacLean • Season 3 • Episode 12

In this episode of the Teach Outdoors podcast, we explore how outdoor education can foster Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) with two incredible guests. Camille Simone Edwards, a DEI practitioner with over 14 years of experience, and Dan Kriesberg, a veteran environmental educator and co-creator of Diversity Education in Nature, join us to discuss how nature can be a powerful space for building community and inclusivity.

Together, we dive into why DEIN is essential in education today, the biggest challenges educators face in integrating these principles into outdoor learning, and creative activities that help students engage with diversity and belonging in nature. We also explore how fostering a connection with nature supports a sense of place, stewardship, and community.

Tune in for practical strategies, inspiring stories, and actionable steps to make outdoor learning more inclusive for all students.
