VIDEO COLLECTION: Explore Themed Learning Pathways
Curated from ASLA's DREAM BIG with Design conferences, this library transforms real-world conversations with landscape architects, designers, and community leaders into accessible, theme-based learning experiences. Through sketch sessions, story time readings, and presentations, learners explore how landscape architecture connects design to nature, people, culture, and climate. Each video collection includes:
- Short, curated video segments from professional webinars
- Optional hands-on or design-thinking activities
- Certificates of Completion (optional and by request)
*Selected resources are available in American Sign Language (ASL), Mandarin, and Spanish to support multilingual and accessible learning.

Reimagine STEM instruction with landscape architecture!
Understanding Sensemaking and Next Generation Science Standards
Because learning standards vary by state and district, we encourage educators to watch this NSTA video on sensemaking, which provides insight into how teachers interpret standards, design instructional practices, and assess students’ ability to demonstrate competency.

CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION
High school students may choose to earn a certificate by completing selected learning pathways and submitting reflections or creative design responses. Certificates can be used to demonstrate foundational knowledge and interest in landscape architecture for portfolios, resumes, or career exploration materials.
Educators may earn professional development hours by completing pathways and submitting brief reflections or classroom application plans.
Certificates of Completion are designed to be achievable, meaningful, and supportive of both student growth and educator learning. Upon completion of your selected presentation(s), you may request a digital certificate to recognize your participation at [email protected]. Please note that participation is tracked in good faith. ASLA is unable to monitor individual engagement, so certificates are awarded based on your own verification of completion. Please be sure to include your full name as you'd like it to appear on the certificate and the name of your completed session(s).
