PROBLEM STATEMENT
Some teachers at Grant Middle School are not taking their students outdoors to perform activities that were made available and / or demonstrated to them through professional development. These teachers, although verbally agreeing that outdoor experiences are beneficial and could support their curricular requirements; appear to lack the time and / or resources to prepare for those outdoor options with confidence
