POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I spend a lot of time asking people questions.

This time, I had to answer them.

I recently joined Chris Colley on the ShiftED podcast to talk about outdoor learning, why it matters, and something I’ve become increasingly convinced of after 15+ years in this field:

We don’t really have an evidence problem anymore.

We have a practice problem.

There is a substantial body of research showing the benefits of outdoor learning for kids. Meanwhile, educators and administrators are making decisions every day about where learning happens, what counts as instructional time, and what experiences deserve investment.

The gap between those two things is where I think some of the most interesting work needs to happen.

Chris and I got into that, along with some practical ways schools can move learning beyond four walls.

It was also a fun change of seats after spending so much time interviewing other people for Hopeful by Nature.

Thanks to Chris and the ShiftED team for having me.

For our Open Creative Space day, we kicked things off with a nature-inspired icebreaker : making self portraits using only materials found outdoors 🍂✨

Each one turned out completely unique—just like us!

This activity works for any age, from preschoolers to adults, and nurtures creativity, nature appreciation, and fine motor skills 🎨

Watch ‘til the end to see a great book that ties it all together 📖!

🎙️Had a great conversation with @colleycdog on one of my Favorite Podcasts ifitbeyourwill | Season 5, Episode 3! Now available online on @spotify or at www.ifitbeyourwill.ca.
——————
Returning guest Zack Keim takes us behind the scenes of his stunning sophomore album “Battery Lane,” revealing how a street address in Bethesda, Maryland became the cornerstone of his musical reinvention.

Our conversation explores the eight-year journey between Zack’s debut album and this latest release, touching on the importance of artistic ownership in today’s music industry.

The geographic and emotional landscapes of “Battery Lane” reveal themselves as we discuss how transition, upheaval, and personal loss influenced Zack’s songwriting. From the jubilant “Canyon” to the introspective title track, each song represents a different facet of his journey through the Washington D.C. area and back to his Pittsburgh roots. Particularly moving is Zack’s reflection on how his late father’s musical obsession continues to fuel his own passion for creating and performing.

Throughout our discussion, Zack’s DIY ethos shines through as he details booking his own tours, coordinating band members across continents, and balancing full-band performances with intimate acoustic shows. His excitement about upcoming appearances at South by Southwest and Tree Fort Music Festival, along with plans for a potential live album, demonstrates an artist hitting his stride while maintaining complete creative control.

Whether you’re a musician navigating the industry’s complexities or simply someone who appreciates authentic artistic expression, Zack’s journey offers both inspiration and practical wisdom. Listen now, then catch him on tour or pick up the vinyl at your local record store to experience “Battery Lane” in all its glory. - Chris Colley
