The Outdoor Education Program

Begin, enhance or support your Outdoor Education efforts. This manual contains integrated teaching units in Weather, Hiking and Survival, First Aid, Living Things and Mapping for large groups. There are enough lessons and activities to complete a school year. Lessons can be adapted to various age groups. Indoor and outdoor lessons are included. There is something here for everyone to learn and know, students and teachers alike.

The Pocket Naturalist

This little manual goes a step further than The Outdoor Education Program. Advice and direction is given on how to effectively move from being a desk teacher to a naturalist. Issues such as dealing with administrators, parents and other teachers are addressed. Trail development is outlined. Educational and safety concerns are covered. The Pocket Naturalist is a "must have" tool to insure successful outdoor experiences with your students.

The Pocket Mentor

This is everything I have ever learned about elementary education and how to teach. It addresses issues teachers face. It is a master, mentored teacher’s voice that breaks the craft of teaching into small, manageable parts. It's the "What They Didn't Teach You in College" crash course for the new or struggling teacher. For the more experienced teacher, it shares the best of my knowledge and insights from a career in the classroom; the front line, the trenches.

Activity Card Manual

Activity Cards are a nonverbal communication, creative dramatics activity which involve students in a variety of skill developing exercises. Activity Cards use a charades-like platform to help develop teamwork, vocabulary, grammar, critical thinking, creative thought, observational skills, and expressiveness. Activity Cards are a ready-made, hands-on, fun, educational tool that is a winner with both kids and teachers. This unique and teacher-friendly program has, for many classes, become the "Activity of the Year". This manual contains directions as well as five Activity Card sets for classroom use.
