PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The 91国产 School District is excited to offer an Elementary Outdoor Land-Based Learning Program at Xw'epiteng, beginning in 2024-2025. Through daily outdoor land-based learning experiences, children will have the opportunity to develop the competencies, skills, and understandings outlined in the B.C. K-7 curriculum. Children will learn to be stewards of the land within which they live, and that encompasses Coast Salish peoples, culture, language, and history.

The Outdoor Land-Based Learning Program will:

• provide daily outdoor experiences that integrate B.C.'s curriculum with children's innate wonderings and curiosity;
• allow teachers to facilitate emergent, experiential, inquiry-based, play-based, and place-based learning;
• align with the First Peoples Principles of Learning and integrate Coast Salish culture, traditions, and history throughout the curriculum;
• be rooted in Indigenous Coast Salish culture and traditions as stewards of the land;
• allow teachers to help children to identify, co-manage and navigate risk as an integral part of learning and healthy development;
• develop students' core competencies by providing experiential learning in the outdoors, fostering children's competencies as creative and critical thinkers, effective communicators, and people who are personally, socially and environmentally aware;
• provide the opportunity for children to learn in a small school setting
