How can students achieve educational outcomes in a challenging way in a creative setting? The answer at the International School Nido de Aguilas in Santiago, Chile is: through the Outdoor Education Program!Zack Beaty is the Outdoor Education Coordinator at Nido de Aguilas. Originally from Waco, Texas, Zack and his wife, Becca, an elementary educator, moved to Chile to experience life in a Spanish-speaking country, improve their Spanish language skills, specifically for his career as an HS Spanish teacher, and teach internationally for a “short time” while also adventuring in South America for a few years before resettling in Texas. After seven years at Nido as an MS PE teacher, Zack transitioned to be the Outdoor Education Coordinator. He loves his position serving the Nido students and community in that role, helping students learn about themselves, each other, and the world around them via Outdoor Education experiences.Our guiding question for the episode was “How does the Outdoor Education program support the mission and curriculum of the International School Nido de Aguilas?”We discussed how the founding of the school and its mission incorporated Outdoor Education into the school culture. Key aspects of the Nido Outdoor Education Program are self-understanding, inquiry, one's place within the community, life skill development, and personal growth. Zack, whose role closely resembles that of an instructional coach, described how the program is integrated into the regular classroom curricula across the three school divisions. We also connected on how widespread Outdoor Education is across the globe in international schools. This episode was recorded on January 17, 2023.  Zack's Contact Information: @nidowithoutwalls on InstagramCategories: School Life | Trends | WellnessRemember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information or to subscribe to our newsletter!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Music: YouTube.

She has worked in many universities in outdoor education programs over the past 20 years. Long-distance hiking is one of her passion and has hiked more than 10,000 miles. She can ruin her shoes in three weeks!In this episode:   [3:51] Clemencia talks about her meeting with Paul Petzoldt, also known as the founder of NOLS and one of the first Outward Bound Instructors in the USA. She was a freshman in collage when a woman told her about having a job where she had to sleep out in the open, so after the class, she talk to the woman where she gave her some number and told her to call Paul. After going back to her dorm, she called him, and he later told her to come to his house to talk about the job further. After drinking a couple of hot beverages and sharing some stories and advice, they went to get lunch together. After a few more hours had gone by, he autographed two of his book and gave them to her without answering any sort of job-related questions. A few days later, in her outdoor class, Dan Garvey asked a question about everyone's weekend, and she told him that she met Paul Petzoldt when he immediately asked her that had she read his books and recommended her to read them.   [17:34] Caporale tells about the thru-hiking course where she took eight students on Appalachian Trail, about 100 miles. They had Privy not far away from where they were camping, but it was a rainy day and was very foggy. They were going to camp for eight days, and on the 6th day, one of the students named Kate went missing. The story gets more interesting when she finally finds the missing girl.     [30:32] Clemencia shares the story when they were heading to Wyoming and got stuck in Jack's Canyon. So they were on their way to Wyoming, and they spotted a great spot to camp, but to get to the location, they had to go through and muddy road. They thought the road was frozen and could drive over it, but it was not frozen. Both of the van's front wheels got stuck in the mud. Later on, there was no choice but to get everyone out and head over to the camping spot on foot. After spending the night, she, alongside two more people head over to the van where the mud got frozen overnight, and they pulled out the van easily and parked at a better spot.    [34:31] Clemencia Caporale narrates a tale but still to this day warms her heart. She was in Edinburgh, and some of her friends knew that she was a hiker and convinced her to do a very short hike known as Arthur's Seat. After spending a couple of hours there, she saw a man lying across the trail. She recently completed her medical training, so she rushed to him and checked to see if he had a pulse.

In this episode, Sherry Lim, Science Department Teacher and Outdoor Education Program Coordinator, shared her story of going to school to become a researcher and how working with UTeach in college helped her discover her love for teaching. Following her dreams and passions, she taught abroad in Korea and attended culinary school at the same time. She returned to the states and began working for JW Marriott, completed her master’s degree, and then heard about an opening at TMI in 2016 that offered her everything she was looking for. Sherry talks about the TMI garden and its part in the Middle School Life Sciences curriculum, raising chickens, composting and running the TMI food-waste program in the AP Environmental Science classes, and how Upper School students get hands-on learning through sampling soil and water testing. The senior students also work to solve problems in the garden, such as flooding. The entire TMI community is always invited to come experience and volunteer in the garden on Fridays after school from 4pm-6pm or during the Dig-In Days throughout the year. In addition to supporting the garden and Outdoor Education Program through volunteer days, the entire community is invited to participate in the Box Tops for Education program. Contests throughout the year for collecting Box Tops help fund projects for the outdoor space. Following another of her passions and searching for ways to support the Outdoor Education Program, Sherry started the TMI Baking Club. Her 7th grade students created the club about a year and a half ago with the purpose of raising funds for the Outdoor Education Program; at the time, the chicken coop was in need of a new roof and this served as the perfect opportunity to raise money. Winners of the Box Tops collections contests always receive a sweet treat bag from the Baking Club. The goal this year is to raise $1,000. Finally, Sherry shares a few funny stories about the animals and tells us what inspires her to teach.
