Ep. 107: Get Outside, with Court Rustmeyer

Ep. 107: Get Outside, with Court Rustmeyer

Spring is (mostly) here! Which means students and teachers need to get outside.

This week, we head to Alberta, Canada to talk with outdoor enthusiast Court Rustemeyer about something every educator should hear: how just five minutes outside can transform a student’s day.

From boosting focus to calming anxiety, Court shares the science and stories behind the outdoors as a classroom for holistic health. Whether it's a hike or a breath of fresh air between classes, this episode is a reminder that better learners start with better living—one step outside at a time.

You can learn more about Court and his outdoor adventure ideas on his website, courtrustemeyer.com.
