Evaluating Natureness
Measuring the Quality of Nature-Based Classrooms in Pre-K through 3rd Grade
Patti Ensel Bailie, PhD, Rachel A. Larimore, PhD, Arianna E. Pikus, MS
Nature-based early childhood education is a rapidly growing trend! Although many schools and programs have incorporated nature-based learning, educators can feel at a loss when trying to evaluate quality in this learning approach. But don't worry—Evaluating Natureness: Measuring the Quality of Nature-Based Classrooms in Pre-K through 3rd Grade is here to help!
Designed with early education practitioners, researchers, and policy makers in mind, the NAture-Based Education Rating Scales (NABERS) for Pre-K and K–3 let professionals easily collect standardized information to measure the quality of education settings in the areas of:
• Program goals and curriculum practices
• Staffing
• Environment
• Community partnerships
• Family engagement
​Whether you want to evaluate an existing nature-based program or discover how to shift your program toward a nature focus, this book is for you!
