Lead Teacher in Outdoor Learning a long term programme that will equip you with many resources and activity ideas to use outdoors, in the school grounds or local area. The course focuses on key attainment subjects (numeracy, literacy and HWB).

The course is collaborative, and you will work with colleagues across Scotland to share your planning, experiences and learning. You will also be charged with sharing your planning and experiences within your own setting

Led by our training staff, this course is ideal for those taking first steps in learning outdoors, or who would like opportunity to develop their practice with support.

Each day takes a different subject area within the CfE, and offers a number of learning activities and ideas.

The programme also runs through common themes in leading learning outdoors such as approaches to take, class management, risk/benefit and benefits of outdoor learning.

The course consists of one full day, three half days and a final full day of training. In between, there is commitment to head outside with your classes as appropriate to your planning.

Subject to completing the course, and submitting a simple reflective learning log, you will gain GTCS Professional Recognition in Outdoor Learning. This recognition, combined with your PRD, will lead to your GTCS Professional Update.

For 2016/17 this second course is fully funded for Scottish teachers and early years educators. Note that there is a commitment to attend, and total non-attendence will be billed to the participant at the cost of the training (£550+vat)
