invites educators to slow down and reconsider what becomes possible when we learn with nature, not just in it.
Pebbles, Puddles and Possibilities is an introductory professional learning designed to lay the foundations for nature pedagogy in practice.
Through a one-hour guided video facilitated by Linda, and a reflective workbook that invites deeper thinking over time, this course introduces key ideas that sit beneath nature-based learning, not as activities to replicate, but as ways of noticing, valuing, and responding to children’s learning in relationship with place.
This course offers a starting point. It supports you to slow down, reflect on your current practice, and build shared language and understanding that can be drawn on in deeper workshops and ongoing learning. It stands alone as a meaningful introduction, while also preparing the ground for further exploration.
By engaging with this introductory course, you will:
Build a strong foundational understanding of nature pedagogy and the thinking that sits beneath it
Strengthen your capacity to notice, wonder, and reflect, creating a solid base for deeper pedagogical inquiry
Strengthen your capacity to notice, wonder, and inquire in ways that guide intentional pedagogical decision-making
Feel more grounded and confident to engage in further learning about nature-based and place-responsive practice
Identify meaningful next steps for your own context, aligned with your values, setting, and community
This course is designed as the first step in a broader professional learning journey. For those who wish to explore nature pedagogy in greater depth, Pebbles, Puddles and Possibilities provides shared language, reflection, and grounding that supports meaningful engagement in our extended workshops and series.
