Price: $110
Come join us for our 9th annual In Mud Workshop. We are excited to welcome keynote speaker Erin Tanzer, teaching faculty in Nature-Based Early Childhood Education from Antioch University New England. Erin values the importance of outdoor risky play for children’s development and as a part of the foundation for life-long learning. Erin will share some of her dissertation research, which focused on young children’s perspectives during outdoor risky play, and she will share practical tips on how children’s views and experiences can shape our pedagogy and teaching.
Workshop sessions will explore these themes and topics further with opportunities to spend time outside – exploring, playing, and taking risks together. Following the morning keynote, participants will have the opportunity to peek into classrooms and then take a journey to Rendezvous Park, near the Jackson Campus.
Recommended for Early Childhood Educators: preschool through lower elementary school. 7 STARS hours are available or a certificate of completion.
There is an option to stay overnight at TSS on Friday, May 1, 2026 with arrivals from 5-7 pm. For those who stay on Friday evening, lodging and breakfast the following morning will be an additional $125.
