Ginny's new book
Lens on Outdoor Learning
How does learning outside uniquely benefit children?
Co-authors and photographers Ginny Sullivan and Wendy Banning bring together images and children’s own words gathered from their field work in a variety of diverse settings to illuminate the magic that happens when children engage with the natural world. Framed by the early learning standards, children’s self-directed experiences are revealed as a natural vehicle for learning in all domains. These richly illustrated and deeply affecting narratives allow teachers and caregivers to see and to understand the innate curiosity with which children approach the natural world. They reveal that simply going outside engages children’s senses and initiates meaning-making, the eternal quest to figure out “what is going on here?”
Lens on Outdoor Learning is scheduled for release in October, 2010.
