Susie Fox - Lead Teacher
I've been working with kids in experiential education and classroom settings since my teens, from preschool gymnastics teacher to AP biology teacher. In 2006 I heard Richard Louv, author of "Last Child In The Woods," speak at an AEOE (Association of Experiential and Outdoor Educators) conference. In 2009, Ayden was born (he's the one in the blue hat), so since then I've gotten a whole new perspective on what's missing in the lives of children. In 2011 I decided to create it. Inspired by the Forest Kindergarten at Cedarsong Nature School on Vashon Island, I decided to complete their teacher training program in November 2011, and opened Fox in the Forest January 2012.
Experiences as Educator
For the youngest ones I've taught preschool, gymnastics, yoga, and cooking.
With gradeschoolers I've worked in week-long residential outdoor programs as a field guide and EMT, and I've also worked for Natures Classroom in New England and in summer camps there.
In California I taught science indoors to public school students in grades 7th - 12th, and I became a National Board Certified Early Adolescent Science teacher in 2000.
