10 years ago with a dedicated Outdoor Leadership teacher and curriculum, was impressed by Laurel School’s pandemic response of immersing students in outdoor education and place-based learning. She wishes that urban schools could adopt a similar approach, especially during the pandemic.
Several schools in the Cleveland area and across the nation have made accommodations so that students can learn outdoors during the pandemic. However, none locally has dived in as deeply and thoughtfully as Laurel School, which moved its third, fourth, and fifth grades to its 150-acre Butler Campus in Geauga County for the full school year.
