A12 Yes! Outdoor learning is a way for students to become environmentally literate, gain education with an environmental component, and understand and experience the interrelatedness of people and place! #OutdoorEdSpaces
Q12: Should or will using outdoor spaces remain a common teaching method once the pandemic is contained? For those who have established outdoor spaces in response to COVID, do you think you will continue to offer outdoor spaces once the pandemic has passed? #OutdoorEdSpaces

@livingschoolyrd Important point! How open are teachers to this? #OutdoorEdSpaces
A4 It all depends on your site. Use what you have- many schools have breezeways or areas with large sheltered areas already. Bring in shelters/tents/carports where/when safe to do so. Don't be afraid of the cold! Kids aren't! #OutdoorEdSpaces
