Upcoming ECE Workshop: Nurturing the Explorer

How do we nurture the explorer?

How do we activate a child’s curiosity outside, and why is it important to do so?

In this 90-minute session, Krysta Sero, ROM Indigenous Museum Educator, and Julie Tomé, ROM Museum Educator, will share their ideas about the importance of outdoor education and share inquiry based approaches to engaging children outdoors.

We will explore learning from and off the land from Indigenous and settler points of view. You will learn how to prepare yourself and your students for this unique learning setting.

ABOUT THE PRESENTERS

Krysta Sero

I am a proud member of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. I am an Early Childhood Educator and hold a Bachelor of Indigenous Education.

Working in education has been my passion for over twenty years. I enjoy exploring what “land-based teaching” looks like in both rural and urban settings, and encouraging teachers to bring their lessons outside!

Julie Tomé

I’m by my nature a science communicator - that kid who would dive into a subject then tell you all about it. While at university, I realized it was the teaching not the research aspect of science that I preferred.

I’ve worked as a science communicator at observatories, science centres, and at the ROM for over 20 years. Through my work, I encourage folks to get outside and marvel at what is there - sometimes in the most unexpected places!

My alphabet soup: BSc, BEd, GDip SciComm.
