Turning School Inside out: Nature Based Education in new hampshire,This is a movie made of our Chesterfield School! I am very proud to have been a part of this journey!
What happens when a school purchases a parcel of adjacent land and commits itself to figuring out how to use that land to improve student learning and well-being? ‘Turning School Inside Out’ is a documentary that tells the story of how one school is becoming extraordinary by transforming its curriculum and culture.Set in a rural southwestern New Hampshire town (CHESTERFIELD, NH,) the film follows teachers, administrators, parents, and community members as they transform the curriculum for students in nearly every grade (K-8) by moving part of the instruction outside. The film captures faculty and community visioning sessions, teacher’s reflections on the value of using the natural world, parents’ support of outdoor learning, and students’ experiences on the land. This film was made possible with the support of the George B. Storer Foundation and Antioch University New England. It was directed, written, and filmed by Chris Hardee and is a production of High Cairn Films. Please click this link https://www.insideoutside.org/films to access the video trailer.
