Join me for my new live online series, "HOW TO DO PLAY," where the focus will be on Play, Observation, and Outdoor Learning. These key elements are designed to enhance your skills, whether you choose to explore one or all of them, based on your current interests and needs.

This step-by-step live training offers practical and transformative strategies that will significantly improve your approach to learning. You will also receive planning formats and templates to help you implement these strategies effectively.

Each module in the "HOW TO DO PLAY" series is broken down into one-hour sessions. While you can select different modules, you must complete all units within a chosen module. Participants will be asked to implement new learning before the next unit, ensuring that you gain the necessary steps and insights to effectively transform learning through play, while still adhering to a curriculum in a flexible and engaging way.
