Every week, I have conversations with naturalists, coaches, docents, museum guides, music teachers -- anyone who educates outside a traditional classroom. We share ideas about what works best and what we can learn from one another. Our goal is to support developing communities of practice among all informal educators. Come join us -- in The Classroom Beyond!

For an outdoor educator, what is the value of an authentic experience? How can you guide your learners to affective engagement -- an attitudinal, emotional connection with the material you're sharing? That's the topic I discuss today with Lacie Ownbey, educator at the Indianapolis Zoo. She shares her adventures with dolphins, seals, and sharks to g…

On this week’s podcast, I talk with Minnesota naturalist Claire Dobie. Nature-based education is popular – who doesn’t like a field trip? But we don’t talk as much about how learning while immersed in the outdoors, in nature, can impact student behavior and outcomes. Claire and I discuss the profession of naturalist and the “nature” of “nature-base…

On this week’s podcast, I talk with piano teacher Jim Cornfoot from Memphis, Tennessee. We talk about the kinds of connections non-classroom teachers make with their students. For some informal educators like piano teachers, those connections can last for years. There’s a huge body of research around affective connection and how it impacts learning…

On this week’s podcast, I talk with Eileen Garcia-Sanchez of the San Antonio Zoo in Texas. It’s a fully-accredited preschool that takes a lot of its inspiration from the world of outdoor education. At the school, children spend a majority of their time outdoors, on both the school’s outdoor campus and in the zoo itself. Eileen and I talk about natu…

This week, I talk with Jim DePompei of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in Los Angeles. We talk about visitor engagement during the pandemic and, of course, doing the grunion dance. Grunion are small fish and pretty unremarkable except for this one thing: they dance. Grunion visit wide, sandy beaches in Southern California and use wavelets to coast as …

For our inagural podcast, I talk with science educator Kady Yeomans of the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. The small city is the museum hotspot of rural Georgia, and the 100,000-foot Tellus is their crown jewel. Kady and I talk about techniques for working a museum floor and also, what happens when controversial topics come up, like…

It???s hard to imagine building things as small as a cell, but now we can make things even smaller than that ??? as small as viruses or even DNA. This month, hear about nanotechnology???s fortuitous interface with the tiny stuff of biology. Research in this area has dramatic implications for the future of medicine. It could lead to artificially eng…
