In this webinar, we welcomed Jenny Leibham, Founder of Nature Play Lifestyle. Jenny dove into the key role observations plays in the classroom, including the importance it has in building connections between children, educators, and the curriculum. Jenny also shared techniques educators can use to help slow the classroom down and capture learning in action.

Our Special Guest:

Jenny has been exploring nature her whole life. She is a born naturalist with a true passion for connecting children to nature and supporting their development. Her journey as an educator has led her to amazing people, inspiring places, and a deepening sense of self throughout it all. She has been a nature-based educator for 10 plus years, working with children and families in supporting a nature connection. She also provides professional development to other nature-based teachers. She has a special love of play and spontaneity in teaching, as well as a personal joy of jumping in puddles! Her goal as an educator is to listen deeply to children, inspire connection to nature and help guide them through hands-on learning.
