Presentation transcript:

Engaging young people with the Watershed Landscape

Direct contact with the natural world Powerful learning experiences Those who struggle in the classroom can excel outdoors Those who already excel become more versatile learners A sense of achievement Diverse resource for teaching across the curriculum Relationships are different in lessons outside the classroom. Why does outdoor learning matter?

Mick Waters, Curriculum guru said ‘That school learning should happen in many different places’. ‘Some of the basic learning experiences for all should include... The opening of a flower The dawn of the day The power of the weather A bird on the wing Strength and Fragility.’ Robin Hammerton, HMI Inspector, OFSTED said The wider context ‘Inspection evidence clearly shows that learning outside the classroom can contribute to high quality outcomes. We are not looking for ‘dull’ standard practice during our inspections’.

Tackling NDD!

The revolution is education is a great opportunity to get outdoors! How much scope is there? A-Level GCSE

An amazing resource for learning Fieldwork Real world learning Volunteering Work experience Enterprise Careers Talks and demonstrations

Schools and colleges are not using what’s on their doorstep

A free online toolkit for secondary schools and colleges. Ready to launch in May. Including: What can we provide? Background information about the Watershed Landscape Ideas bank - case studies and curriculum links Quick reference guide – planning for visits Resource library – videos, sounds, factsheets, fieldwork techniques, id guides

Raise profile with a nationally important resource Engage with a new audience Open up more possibilities to engage with other audiences Leverage with funders Build supporters for the future Help to change attitudes and values What could this do for us?
