"Do your senior high students seem disengaged? Are they anxious for the future? Prepare and inspire them with hope in action. In the 2023-24 school year, we piloted an Environmental Stewardship 3-credit options course at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Academy in Canmore, Alberta. Students joined this options course out of a desire to make a positive change in their community. Students learned through outdoor hiking field trips and site visits about everything from human-wildlife coexistence and Indigenous relationship to place, to waste, water and energy systems.
In this experiential workshop, we are delighted to share our learnings from the pilot course! Together, we will test drive some of the activities and send you with inspiration to your classroom! Free access to the ENS activity guide is available here:
