Outdoor Classrooms

In the current education environment without a treatment for COVID-19, the best practice for pandemic mitigation is social distancing[1]. One innovative solution is moving classes outdoors like Rice University, which is currently building 9 outdoor classrooms. In Denmark, schools held classes in playgrounds and public parks[2]. Drakeford, Scott, & Associates, LLC owns outdoor classrooms in North Carolina (RTP and Pinehurst) and in the DC Metro Area (Chesapeake Bay). In addition to renting meeting spaces we conduct ½ day certificate trainings in Inclusion: The Art of Story-Listening and The PurposeU Curriculum.
