What Teachers Experience
Coaching
Step Outside provides access to unique programs for teachers with an interest for bringing the outdoors to their teaching. From peer coaching to one-on-one support, we have the tools and techniques you need to be successful. We know that everyone has the ability to achieve excellence when they discover and develop a teaching collaboration that takes advantage of the school campus just outside our classrooms.
Outdoor Integration
We are passionate about bringing outdoor experiences, activities, and projects into your teaching, and have built a team of experienced teachers, organizations, and experts to support you in stepping outside. Our mission is to expand the definition of a classroom, and we do so by bringing the outdoors into your teaching, and your teaching into the outdoors.
Networking
Our Networking program is an essential aspect of our approach to supporting teachers. Collaborate with other teachers, develop new skills through workshops, and access insights from current and prior cohorts. Join our community and experience the benefits of bringing the outdoors to life in your teaching.
What Your Students Experience
Place-Based Learning
Our program brings the outdoor campus into the classroom to light a spark of curiosity in students. We encourage presence in the moment, helping students to connect with their senses, explore their environment, and unlock their creativity.

Our mission is to create a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world, while having a great time.
