New Logo for House In the Wood
Northwestern Settlement has changed their logo to reflect the entire breath of programs and services they offer to the Chicago community. All programs and services of the Settlement fall within one of the THREE mission words--Nurture, Educate or Inspire. Each Settlement mission word has its own color. And each program has a small logo to represent them which nestles within the Northwestern Settlement Logo.

Outdoor Ed Program Assessments
We have started doing pre and post assessments of our lessons to see if we are doing what we SAY we are doing. We also do post assessments on social emotional learning (SEL) topics like teamwork, responsibility and independence.
The academic assessment results below come from a Chicago Middle School (7th grade) who did one OUTDOOR EDUCATION lesson with us called "Meet the Herps". This lesson met our amphibian and reptile friends at the Valerie Hall Outdoor Education Center. We also talked about animal classification, metamorphosis and adaptation.
While they were here for three days, they also did tree climbing and archery as well as activities designed by their teachers.
Here is the academic assessment for the Meet the Herps lesson.
Here are the results from their SEL assessment.

Feedback from the middle school leadership...House In The Woods
was such a magical experience for us this year! 7th grade had a turbulent
school year and it was so awesome that we ended the year on a positive note.
Thank you for your hospitality, and patience with our group! This was the first
end of the year trip that the principle has ever attended and she was deeply
impressed. I did strongly recommend that both 6th and 7th grade should
experience HITW every year.
