This is an excellent class where LES will share what are the foundations and tools that make “coyote mentoring” such an effective teaching methodology. It is the basis of Living Earth’s nature-based educational approach to mentoring youth and adults that has led to our award-winning programs. This class is great for teachers (many have successfully brought this to their school), parents, aunties/uncles, managers, and anyone interested in developing better skills as a mentor. Though we use it in a nature context, the principles work in any area of life. You will benefit from our 20+ years of experience on your way to learning how to facilitate a powerful learning experience that builds a deep connection with the natural world. You will learn various teaching styles that are modeled on how people naturally learn. A beautiful part of this is that students become so engaged in the fun atmosphere, that they don’t even realize how much they are learning. The class will be a mix of lectures, storytelling, discussion, hands-on learning, games, and more. It is always a lot of fun. Accommodations, hot showers, and all meals included. Meals are buffet style and vegan/vegetarian with gluten-free options.
