Episode 114 - Forest Educator Spotlight: Harnessing the Nature of Time
Forest Educator with Ricardo Sierra | A Podcast for Revolutionary Conversations about Nature-Based EducationShow Notes
Ever since I was a kid I was always fascinated by the concept of 'time'.
I know I am not alone, because it's a pretty popular theme over the last four decades or so. Madeline L'Engle's Wrinkle In Time was one of my first steps into a different world. The time differences in the world of Narnia was pretty interesting! Then came the wildly unexpected Time Bandits and the fun of Back to the Future. The Time Lords and Dr. Who. The resetting of time in Edge of Tomorrow high stakes battle for Earth. Hot Tub Time Machine. The compression of time in Interstellar and Inception. HG Wells' The Time Machine. Groundhog Day. The Time Heists of Avengers: Endgame and the TVA of Marvel's Loki were some of the more recent forays, but there are literally tons of shows like Quantum Leap, or Travellers, or The Umbrella Academy and yes, Outlander....
I'd like to believe that time travel is possible but it's probably not, at least, not in the way that these shows seem to depict it. However, there are some situations and experiences that I have had in my forays into nature and leading groups that have broadened my understanding of time and its paradoxes and oddities and gifts, so, I figured we better talk about it!
No hot tubs required!

Today's Forest Educator Spotlight is all about the best-kept secret for Forest Educators: the Natural Advantage. When we implement this three-part framework in our programs, we can have the biggest impact.
Some of my favorite ages to work with are middle schoolers, anywhere from 10-14 years old. Some may say those ages are some of the most challenging, but I really like that age group for so many reasons. I love to help them find their passion and excitement, and to watch them build an inner foundation for themselves and a personal belief that they know who they are, and begin to believe that they can do hard things. In this episode, I'm exploring the different developmental ages and stages during this period of kids' lives and some of my best tips and strategies for working with them effectively. From emotional development, friendship, trust, and self-reflection to skill-building, I hope this episode will help you feel excited about working with this age group, too.
The first rule about 'bonding' is like Fight Club:
The paths we take in our journey as educators are incredibly diverse and unique to each of us. We all have different origins, with mentors, teachers, opportunities and our communities all influencing how we do what we do.
An aspect of nature education that I believe is greatly overlooked is the ability and benefit it gives young people to 'Do Hard Things'. This happens when we learn to climb a steep hill, climb a tree, master carving knife safety or learn to think of others in our groups! It happens when we learn to be safe and respectful about campfires. It happens when we begin our studies in wild foods, birds, animal tracks, trees or bushcraft skills. (This list could be very, very substantial!)
