School Leader and Teacher Insights into Learning Outside the Classroom in Natural Environments
This document, published in 2012, reports on a study of 38 teachers and school leaders in primary, secondary and special schools with widely varying levels of outdoor learning. It focuses on their views of outdoor learning and their ideas about the Natural Connections Demonstration Project.
The Natural Connections Demonstration Project, which ran from 2012 to 2016, oversaw the delivery of a three year test of the effectiveness of a new delivery model in achieving the aim of reconnecting children with their local natural environments by stimulating both the demand for and the supply of services to support learning outside the classroom in natural environments. The particular focus was on supporting schools in areas of multiple deprivation that are currently providing little or no learning outside the classroom in natural environments.
