Let’s make schoolwork wild.

Educating Earthlings takes teachers and students off the beaten path and into wild places, right where they are.

We have the outdoors at hand for our library of resources, our class of fellow learners and our college of teachers. This nature-based learning is available everywhere and accessible to all.

We’ll design projects, conduct professional development and maintain support. Let’s build on the wisdom of the natural world, the enthusiasm of students and the expertise of their teachers.

Together, we can thrive, be curious, learn and belong. It’s a wild idea.

Why Rewild?

Earthlings need to thrive, to be curious, to learn and to be grounded. 

We are at school in an unsettling era of ecological disruption, social reckoning and personal disconnection. Educators have a duty to work for the good of their students today, and prepare for our future.

By stepping outdoors for meaningful school work, students and teachers will feel better, grow with one another, and attach themselves to their Wild Places.

Working Together

Our team will support all participants to create and conduct these wild connecting experiences.

Rewilding our schoolwork strengthens the best skills for teachers at all levels and across every discipline. Educating Earthlings partners with schools to design the most effective practices and nature-based projects to challenge and inspire all teachers and learners.

Education and the Anthropocene

It’s complicated.

Our needs to thrive, to be curious, to learn and to belong take on a particular priority for Earthlings in our current age of cascading crises. Together we’ll make careful decisions for our children growing up with the complexities of the Anthropocene.

We educate Earthlings by helping one another more firmly connect to our living world.

We encounter Educating Earthlings just outdoors, as the other-than-human creatures among whom we live and learn.

We become Educating Earthlings as we meet our needs to thrive, ask, learn, and so belong.
