Tree Talk | Lessons from the Learning Tree Christian Bisson

Step outside and discover how a single tree can become a dynamic teaching tool across disciplines. In this hands-on outdoor session, we’ll explore how trees can support critical thinking through science, social studies, problem-solving, and sensory-based learning. Through interactive activities and reflective discussion, participants will uncover creative strategies to engage students with nature as a living classroom. Come prepared to be outdoors—rain or shine— ready to view teaching through a new lens.

For this event, we will meet at the Museum of the White Mountains and then we will walk to the site together as a group.
