Course summary

The course methodology encourages active participation, sharing of good practice and reflection of approaches used to improve the provision and the quality of education.

What participants have said about this course
“It has been amazing! It’s the best course I’ve been on - it has been incredibly well organised, and has provided the perfect amount of professional development! I’ve absolutely loved it, especially being in the outdoors for the majority of the trip!”
Croydon, UK
The course was incredible from start to finish, so much better than anything I could imagine and I’ve come away with so much new knowledge.
Wales, UK
It was really great to be fully engaged with the school day and teaching rather than simply touring the schools, so we could appreciate the benefits that forest learning has for both students and teachers alike, and see how it actually works with different parts of the curriculum/age groups.
