I want to congratulate one of my graduate students on completing her Master's thesis in educational leadership. Danielle's completed thesis entitled The Benefits of Outdoor Education: The Pros and Cons of Teaching in an Outdoor Space as Observed by French Immersion Teachers and Experienced by Their Students. Danielle's thesis explores an important topic in education as it relates to the French immersion curriculum in Canada.
Danielle embraces a multicultural approach to outdoor education and the specific research related to French immersion schools is an important contribution to the field though, as the author notes in her final chapter, more research is needed (particularly in how children experience outdoor education in these schools).
I would encourage Danielle to continue exploring this area of education and share her work with other scholars and researchers at outdoor and environmental education conferences in the future. It was a privilege to work with her this year.
