Developing a Natural Schooling Approach - a self directed CPD reading resource for teachers and school leaders. This booklet consists of 5 Key Elements written to support participants in their understanding of how a Natural Schooling approach to outdoor learning can make a meaningful difference to not just the learners, but the teachers themselves. It draws on the experiences of the Erasmus + Natural Schooling project using examples, case studies and current research. It provides opportunities for practitioners to reflect on their own professional practices and to consider the potential and implications of adopting a Natural Schooling approach in their own setting. This course is Intellectual Output 7, of the Natural Schooling Project and has been written by the co-author of Bloomsbury’s ‘National Curriculum Outdoors; a complete scheme of work’ series of books.
