Webinar with Kristy Rangel, former Head of Professional Learning with the City of San Antonio’s Pre-K 4 SA program and Consultant

Americans are spending about ninety percent of their time if not more indoors, with children being no exception. The mental and physical benefits are compelling, so why are we not seeing a turn in this staying indoors trend? Even when outdoor access is created and built, in some areas the space still sits unused. Curious about why this might be, I learned that for many families there are some common, generalized obstacles standing in their way. This session will address these repeated concerns, provide research, and sound evidence on how to address parent education on these topics. This session will be useful for anyone in a position to speak to parents or adults who are care-taking young children on the importance of taking children outdoors and hacks for the obstacles in the way.

Kristy Rangel is the former Head of Professional Learning with the City of San Antonio’s Pre-K 4 SA program serving early childhood education throughout the city and is now independently specializing in facilitating workforce development in young adults, organizational health, and the art of effective communication for leaders. She is an avid lover of the outdoors and has been advocating for outdoor learning in schools for the past 25 years.
