Building on the learnings from the previous three years, the second phase of the Learning Outside Together: “Incorporating traditional wisdom and promising practices to futureproof child care programs” (LOT) initiative is funded by the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care. LOT is designed to increase confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to deliver land-based learning opportunities. This online professional development program focuses on supporting educators to create meaningful outdoor experiences with and for children, increase the length of time spent with children outdoors, and learn about Indigenous teachings, protocols and practices related to the land. This three-year project is a continuation of the joint partnership between the Early Childhood Educators of BC (ECEBC), the BC Aboriginal Child Care Society (BCACCS), and SRDC.
