Jeanne McCarty - CEO of Out Teach: Converting Outdoor Spaces into Real World Labs. This is episode 587 of Teaching Learning Leading k12, an audio podcast. Jeanne McCarty joined Out Teach as the first CEO in 2007. Since then, she has spent her days setting strategy, securing resources, and mobilizing as many people as she can towards their vision for all children, no matter their resources, to have access to a transformative, hands-on education.  Together with a talented team and visionary board, they have grown Out Teach from a local nonprofit to a national organization that inspires and prepares hundreds of thousands of students to be thinkers, dreamers, and doers. A few years back a national survey noted that kids in grades K-3 were taught science for an average of just 18 minutes a day compared with 89 minutes for English Language Arts and 57 minutes for math.   Out Teach, a non-profit, delivers personalized hands-on training, collaborative partnerships, and easily accessible resources that help teachers recast everyday outdoor spaces into exciting labs.  Jeanne joins me to talk about science instruction, specifically outdoor science learning, and why it is critical that more children have access to this kind of learning. Education is in her DNA. Jeanne grew up in the piney woods of Mississippi, where her parents and grandparents were educators. Her dad was most at home outdoors, and her earliest memories are days spent in his gardens and exploring creeks near our home. For more than 30 years, she has followed in their footsteps, yet forged her own path to bring real-world experiences to all students from kindergarten to college.  Jeanne enjoys at the end of a long day, sitting on the back porch with her family (especially in July when the bats and fireflies are out) or spending time on the couch with her family and the cats. Awesome focus! Lots to learn. Enjoy! Before you go... Could you do me a favor?
