Through a blend of real-life examples and practical commentary\, readers will see how Fox created localized learning opportunities for his students out of canoeing on the Bronx River\, hiking in the Catskill Mountains\, and other unconventional approaches. \nReplete with sample projects\, topics\, theories\, and strategies\, Learning Environment offers an actionable vision for reengaging students and reenergizing teachers.

With Fox’s heartfelt wisdom and practical know-how\, readers will be empowered to reconsider and redefine what teaching and learning can and should be. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nDr. Jared Fox is an award-winning educator and former secondary science teacher\, department chair\, coach\, mentor\, and instructional leadership team member currently working as an independent education consultant at the intersection of science\, the environment\, and social justice.
