Деталі курсу

Albert Einstein once famously said “I never teach my pupils, I only provide the conditions in which they can learn.” Driven by this quote, it's crucial to remember that learning is an active process and sometimes the best and most memorable learning experiences take place outside the walls of the classroom.

The Teaching Outside the Classroom course explores the educational value and potential of informal learning spaces for learning. The course aims to provide participants with tools, ideas and good practices on how to integrate outdoor education into formal education. During the course, you will investigate strategies educators can use to plan, implement and evaluate learning outside the classroom and how to blend it with more traditional classroom-based learning. More generally the course aims to support teachers to transform their students' learning experiences into meaningful and engaging activities which lead to their intellectual growth.
