À propos de cet audio
"Few people have the writing ability, education expertise, and thoughtfulness to write a book about the state of education. Jared is masterful in the classroom...and [his book] will change the landscape of education." —Dr. Christopher Emdin, New York Times best-selling author of For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood...and the Rest of Y'all Too
An award-winning environmental science teacher's actionable roadmap for educators interested in making the world a classroom, even in the city
Join award-winning New York City educator Dr. Jared Fox in—and out of—his classroom on an excursion that goes beyond books and lectures to reimagine teaching and learning. Through a blend of real-life examples and practical commentary, listeners will see how Fox created localized learning opportunities for his students out of canoeing on the Bronx River, hiking in the Catskill Mountains, and other unconventional approaches.
Replete with sample projects, topics, theories, and strategies, Learning Environment offers an actionable vision for reengaging students and reenergizing teachers. The book encourages K-12 STEM educators to build experiential learning into their teaching styles by:
- designing field trips as fieldwork
- partnering with local experts
- implementing localized learning through hands-on application
- leveraging interdisciplinary instruction
Fox invites teachers to create dynamic, transformative educational opportunities by implementing experiential learning based in their own communities. With Fox's heartfelt wisdom and practical know-how, listeners will be empowered to reconsider and redefine what teaching and learning can and should be.

“The inspirational story of an award-winning public school teacher who trusts and empowers his students to change the world. Jared Fox pulls back the curtain to reveal the teaching practices that ignited his students’ motivation and commitment to quality work—transformational practices that can improve any classroom.”
—Ron Berger, author of Leaders of Their Own Learning: Transforming Schools Through Student-Engaged Assessment
“In Learning Environment, award-winning high school science teacher Jared Fox shares his passion, his wisdom, and a rich array of powerful teaching practices aimed at joyfully engaging students in understanding and building a world of environmental justice. Read this book for inspiration and for ideas you can realize immediately with your classes.”
—Tom Roderick, author of Teach for Climate Justice: A Vision for Transforming Education
“While many educators talk about ‘breaking down the classroom walls,’ Dr. Fox provides compelling stories to demonstrate the theories and practices behind this approach. His classroom case study effectively reveals how he transformed his students into ‘community scientists’ who advocate for change when confronted with authentic scientific challenges that impact their lives.”
—Thomas Rochowicz, deputy superintendent, NYC Public Schools
