PEI’s FieldSTEM model provides educators with a set of strategies and resources to integrate place-based outdoor learning on their school grounds and beyond. These include:

Fostering Outdoor Observation Skills (FOOS) prepares young learners from kindergarten to eight grade to complete a data report form of fish, wildlife and habitat they observe in the environment.

High Impact Field Investigations (HIFEs) turn field ‘trips’ into meaningful field experiences with connections to both curriculum and community partners.

ELA and Math Performance Tasks are mini-research units that integrate subject areas such as reading, writing, math and science.

Schoolyard Investigations can be done on any schoolground, using observation skills and questioning.

FieldDesign is field-based engineering and design for K-12 students rooted in real-world challenges.

Dual Language ELA and Math Performance Tasks are mini-research units in Spanish.
