There will be an element of farm work involved, so bring your favorite gloves, hat, sturdy shoes and a bottle of water. You’ll become familiar with the nature-and-farm-based program, then contribute to developing curriculum in this non-traditional learning environment that can be put into practice in short tests. While working with the children, you’ll practice different ways to engage a large group, redirect behaviors, comfort, encourage and support children in their learning about the world around them.
