EDP-5620: Risk Management for Nature-based Early Childhood Education

Children enjoy and seek out experiences that are challenging and adventurous. Nature readily provides such opportunities. Being outdoors with children in all kinds of weather requires a level of risk management beyond fire drills and hand washing instructions, and this course prepares nature-based early childhood educators to provide it. Topics that will be considered include risk assessment and hazard identification, supporting and managing risky play, scaffolding children’s use of tools, and research on the relationship between nature play and overall health and development.
