Outdoor Learning – Our Schools, Our World

Outdoor Learning

“Climate change isn’t an ‘issue’ to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message — spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions — telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us we need to evolve”

— Naomi Klein

All curriculum areas can be taught outside. Research has shown this can benefit students’ behaviour, motivation and engagement with learning.
