Assumptions:Physical Needs
5
Start date of school year is in early SeptemberOne day in-person training as a walk-through of outdoor learning space
6
Monday-Friday schedule are full days (can be A/B schedule or not)Need for additional structures to provide covered learning areas for classes
7
In-person trainings will be possible to be held on school grounds with 10 or less people at a timeDistrict approved volunteer support for outdoor instruction
8
Approval and ability to use Clime Time Canvas training course for virtual portion of training

Ability/desire to work Mo-Fr schedule with a school

Model for K-5 Elementary at Bellingham School DistrictAdditional Considerations
13
Outdoor Assistants can be made up of a Coalition member and potentially a teacher at the school who has previously attended Clime Time workshopsCoalition partners would need to determine schedule with school principal in order to adequately meet the needs of all teachers
14
Serving approximately 252 teachers - assuming 2 teachers per grade at 14 schoolsSupport staff from school need to be available to assist with any child needing extra support (i.e needing to leave the group, use the bathroom, etc.)
15
# of CBO's needed will be 14 - one per school (or more depending on preference or size of school)Providing Professional Development stipend to teachers for taking training
16
Serving approximately 18 classrooms - assuming 2 classes for each grade (on A/B schedule the total classes would be 36)Providing stipend to teacher leaders who are assigned role of 'Outdoor Assistant' to provide support in lesson development
17
1 or two CBOs would have to be comfortable working and developing lessons for all grades K-5 in tandem with teacher
18
How are Outdoor Assistants assigned to schools?

Idea #1
24
Teachers attend virtual and in-person trainings with ongoing support and are assigned an 'Outdoor Assistant' to support lesson development (out of the field)
25
- Virtual training can pull from Clime Time Canvas Course
26
- In-person training would be run by assigned Outdoor Assistant(s) to orient teachers to outdoor learning spaces and tools for handling behavior management
27
- Outdoor Assistant(s) will develop schedule of 'office hours' according to need
28
- Outdoor Assistant(s) will be available via email and phone during designated times for extra support if necessary

Idea #2
32
Teachers attend virtual and in-person training and assigned an 'Outdoor Assistant' that supports in lesson development and outdoor instruction
33
- Virtual training can pull from Clime Time Canvas Course
34
- In-person training would be run by assigned Outdoor Assistant(s) to orient teachers to outdoor learning spaces and tools for handling behavior management
35
- Outdoor Assistant(s) will be assigned to one elementary school and will be responsible for modeling and providing assistance to teachers
36
- Outdoor lessons would need to be specified ahead of time to allow for lesson development and planning in partnership with the Outdoor Assistant
37
- Role of Outdoor Assistant should be established (are they there to watch and provide feedback, to model lesson, to provide assistance when needed, etc.)
38
- Based on the below model, this rotation would take 4 1/2 weeks to get through all 36 classes (assuming 18 classrooms are split into A/B classes)
39
- only includes time that classrooms would have instructional support from Outdoor Assistant (classrooms can go out beyond these scheduled times)
