Jay's Faculty page

From WildWiki

Welcome to my wiki website! Below are a variety of workshops, writings and research from the fields of outdoor education, environmental education, experiential education, and a few Quaker messages. My research and writing focuses on the fields of experiential education, outdoor education, and environmental education. I am also interested in what we are learning about how the brain learns and its implications for educational practice.

To check-out my blog on these matters on OutdoorEd.com click here: Greenfire. I welcome feedback on anything you read here!
