Quite often in schools outdoor learning or curriculum based outdoor learning takes place in isolation or unconnected to in-school teaching.

Who has time to do teaching outdoors in addition to in-school coverage of the curriculum?

The solution is easy.

Make the outdoors do the teaching.

Don’t use outdoor learning in addition to your teaching. By threading the outdoors into planning of the curriculum, then the best location to teach content or skills, and assessing understanding or practical application of knowledge, the outdoor learning is truly embedded into the teaching of the curriculum.

A framework for integrating outdoor learning to support and consolidate your indoor teaching at a strategic level would provide a much better use of the outdoors in teaching curriculum content.
