A fellow state Teacher of the Year, April Todd of Maryland, is featured in a great Youtube video endorsing the valued of learning outside the walls of the classroom. Part of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the No Child Left Inside Coalition is working hard to promote the value of real world learning. Since so much of my science lab involves our garden, wildlife habitat and working outdoors, I encourage you to learn more about their efforts. I joined the coalition and invite you to join me.
