Meet your guide

My name is Victoria Zablocki and I’m a former elementary educator turned outdoor educator with 10 years of experience integrating outdoor education into science learning. During my decade in the field, I coached teachers in public schools on how to accomplish their curricular goals in science with authentic and place-based experiences.
I’m continuing my coaching journey through this podcast by giving you confidence for teaching elementary-aged children in fun, engaging, and authentic ways. Each Monday I release a new episode that introduces effective science teaching methods, ways to integrate science and ELA, tips and tricks to leverage outdoor education, and ideas for math, art, and more.
