Learning outside the classroom is a key part of early years and primary practice and is on the rise in settings across the world. This book centres on outstanding outdoor practice and how children can learn and develop in natural environments.
Focussing on children aged from 2-11 this book contains:
- A self-evaluation toolkit for educators to reflect on what they’re doing now and where to develop to be more effective.
- Examples of practice from around the world and in various environments, including urban settings.
- An entire chapter on assessment and planning to help ensure and demonstrate quality of provision.
Looking at all the possibilities and approaches, there are models for practice to suit every setting so that everyone can make outdoor learning part of the core teaching and learning objectives.
