The Santa Fe Outdoor Education Collaboration is a joint project between Audubon Southwest, the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, and the Santa Fe Watershed Association. These three organizations work together to provide high-quality, nature-based science lessons. We focus on third, fourth, and fifth graders and their teachers and are based on the natural environment here in Northern New Mexico. We partner with teachers and district staff. Together, we provide professional development trainings, classroom visits, and outdoor field trips. All are rooted in standards-aligned life-science and the best practices of outdoor education.
Thanks to the LANL Foundation as well as to twelve elementary school teachers for their support and guidance. Since 2018, over 70 teachers and community partners have participated in SFOEC trainings, with an estimated reach of over 1500 students receiving SFOEC-designed life-science curriculum.
We have many exciting opportunities coming up in the 2024-25 school year for teachers and their students.
