Wild Oak Nature School responsibilities:
• Before each session, Wild Oak educators will do an examination of the spaces utilized to assess any potential risks, and mitigate or remove the risks that are found to be present.
• To remain first-aid and CPR certified.
• Our role differs from a traditional classroom teacher in that Wild Oak educators act as a guide for learning, and aim to spark curiosity and a desire to learn various skills by prompting with questions, deepening conversations, introducing self-guided projects, encouraging group projects, adventuring alongside the children, and voicing our observations aloud.
