Founding Director
The Center For Learning With Nature
Jan 2013 — Present
The Center for Learning with Nature is a non-profit organization devoted to developing education materials and professional development to help teachers transform K-12 education into an experience that builds awe, aspirations, and capacity in young people to appreciate the environment and invent a healthier and more sustainable human-built world. Our work has reached educators in 71 countries and 46 states across the U.S.\"Sam Stier\'s insight into how nature can change the way we look at STEM and more importantly how we teach and do STEM is truly inspiring. His ideas and thoughts on how educators can inject excitement and passion into their teaching by applying what nature has already figured out was incredible. One of the best keynote speakers we have ever had.\"- Dr. Tamara Goetz, Director, Utah STEM Action Center\"I could not have spent my time any better than this. In an age where we have the NGSS directing us to think about teaching science differently and when we have industries saying we need students who have learned differently, this curriculum and the PD provided tools for addressing both of those forces.\"- Dr. Brett Criswell, College of Education, University of Kentucky\"The Center for Learning With Nature has given me a powerful tool to help students unlock their potential engineering and design capacities. The curriculum is an inspiring and empowering way for students to see the problems of today and create the innovative solutions for tomorrow. Our students finish the course feeling more confident and inspired in their move toward college and see the sciences and engineering fields as new possibilities.\"- Ms. Tiffany Roberts, Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, Credo High School, Rohnert Park, CaliforniaThe Center for Learning with Nature is a 501(c) organization and runs on public support to do its
