An Okanagan College researcher has done the work and would like to see more teachers take their kids outside.
Dr. Beverlie Dietze, who is the college’s director of learning and applied research, recently published her second textbook about children’s outdoor play theories, which encourage early childhood educators to get youngsters outside. Outdoor & Nature Play Early Childhood Education was co-authored by Dietze and Dianne Kashin, and published through Pearson Canada.
“The outdoor play movement is building momentum in Canada,” Dietze said in a press release. “In order for that momentum to continue, we need to offer more educators new knowledge, examples and practices that make outdoor play principles accessible and place them in a Canadian context.”
The book includes photos of outdoor play workshops Dietze has hosted at Okanagan parks and nature areas.
