How to Teach Nature Journaling
Are you a school teacher who would like to lead nature journal activities in your classroom? Perhaps you are a home school parent who would like to extend and enrich your current journaling activities. Are you interested in starting (or are already leading) a nature journal club in your area? Or, you could be a nature journaler with no interest in teaching but would like to understand the psychological research behind what you do to better understand and inspire yourself.
In this workshop we explore the pedagogy and logistics of leading nature journaling activities and bringing students outdoors. You will learn:
How to lead journaling activities
My biggest mistakes and what doesn’t work
How to integrate nature journaling with the Next Generation Science Standards.
Techniques to give authentic feedback on student work that inspire and motivate a review of relevant education and cognitive psychology research

Wow this is real science!! I love it 💖🍀🌿🍂🐝
Holy guacamole! I teach 7th grade life science and am trying to start a naturalist elective course at my school. Your video is full of amazing ideas for pitching the course to my administrators and making a course like this possible. I plan to watch it again and take notes. I especially like the part about what to do when you get that "done" feeling. Many students see prompts as tasks to complete and end up missing out on so much. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better educator.
This is so fantastic. Discovered your work through a nature sketcher's blog a few months ago, and since then I have become increasingly obsessed. Thank you SO much for posting such excellent materials!
Thank you so much for all your videos. I am so glad I discovered them.
This is soooo exciting! Thank you John (The Tattooed Man!) for articulating all these profound principles so enthusiastically. This will enrich my art journalling practice enormously!!!
Ever awesome ...the perception exercises... The celebrity face exercise , was a good example..wow
Thank you for sharing! I love the ideas here and will be putting them to use
Fantastic! Thanks so much for another excellent video. I'm teaching my first nature journal class in a few months and all your resources and the NJC have been so helpful!
Can't wait to use the game and "I'm done"strategies with my students. Also, your tips on feedback are wonderful. I often fall prey to the inner critic/pretty picture thing in my own journaling; it is helpful to have feedback ideas that will focus the students on journaling in its entirety.
Love this! Thank you for explaining why! Motivates me! Would love powerpoint note pages especially for the longer list pages. Going to dive back into your book soon. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Your videos always get me excited about going out and drawing.
Statisticaly more people CAN be above average! (Meant as a funny remark, however...it's true) JML thank you foto all your vids!
There's invaluable stuff here for anyone teaching journaling @ nature. I particularly like the reminder to honor questions and observations over " pretty drawing." And some actionable activities to use with journalers of all ages. Thanks, Jack, for the ideas and inspiration!!!!

The faces exercise was pretty weird and spooky! Poltergeist level spooky! :D
As a homeschooling mom, I wish I would have seen this video before. I would have loved to participate for the next Edition😞.
What age kids do you feel this applies to?
