New Mexico is uniquely positioned to lead the nation in outdoor learning. Our climate, natural resources, and deep cultural connections to the land offer a powerful foundation—but too many students, especially those furthest from opportunity, are still learning indoors every day.
It’s time to change that.
TOTAL NM is building a statewide movement for daily, equitable outdoor learning—and we need your voice.
Sign on today to show your support for a vision where every student in New Mexico can learn outside, every day.
This isn’t just about planting a garden or building an outdoor classroom—it’s about supporting teachers with the tools, training, and confidence to make the outdoors a regular part of their instruction.
Coming soon: the Outdoor Classrooms Framework, co-created by 13 incredible educators in the Outdoor Educator Leadership Program who have already provided over 5,000 outdoor experiences for students to learn. This framework will be the foundation for expanding outdoor learning statewide.
This movement will:
- Empower teachers to get students learning outdoors with confidence
- Make outdoor learning accessible to all students
- Align lessons with curriculum using existing schoolyard spaces
Sign on now.
Be part of the change. Help us make outdoor learning the norm—not the exception—for every New Mexico student.
