It was great to witness the enthusiasm that is present in probationary teachers across East Lothian for teaching outside of the classroom.
As part of this years probationer programme all teaching staff new to East Lothian were invited to an afternoon session at the Outdoor Learning Base – Musselburgh. The title of the afternoon was ‘Unlocking the Potential of Outdoor Learning’. The outline presentation is available below by clicking on the image.
The afternoon consisted of short discussion sessions interspersed by a series of simple outdoor learning activities.
All teachers were surprised to be made aware of the alternative Experiences and Outcomes documents hosted on Education Scotland. The symbols of trees and buildings next to every E and O. It is difficult to find an Experience and Outcome which has only a building next to it!
Looking forward to hearing about more innovative learning taking place beyond the classroom across East Lothian. Thanks to all staff for a great and enthusing afternoon.
