Celebrating our ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
The program’s rapid success has garnered national attention. The Belen teachers and the broader community involved in the Outdoor Educator Leadership Program will be presenting their work at the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) Annual Conference in Pittsburgh this November.
“We are thrilled to share the incredible work happening here in New Mexico on such a large stage,” added Martin. “This conference will allow us to demonstrate the potential of outdoor education and inspire other educators and communities to take learning beyond the classroom walls.”

“The big purpose of this event is to celebrate outdoor classroom initiatives and share resources statewide, so we’re going to have a bunch of different things going on to support that,” said Allison Martin, executive director of TOTAL NM. “We also want to announce who we are as Total New Mexico, and the Outdoor Educator Leadership Program we’re starting with the teachers down here.”
