Module 3 – Governors, HTs, SMTs: Learning Outside the Classroom – What you Need to Know

Training for Governors, Headteachers and Senior Management Teams

This module is written particularly for governors, headteachers, school leadership teams and business managers. This module will be most effective where it is delivered for people within the same school, youth club or early years setting and within the same phase of education. It comprises trainer notes, PowerPoint presentations, facilitation scripts for each session, resources and materials, as well as a delegate resource booklet.

The following Making the Case presentation shows how worldwide research has demonstrated that learning outside the classroom has a positive impact on the development of young people. Improvements are seen in young people’s learning, physical experiences, social interaction, emotional well-being and response, whether through a behaviour change or a shift in values and attitudes.

The visit to the farm was a great success – staff and pupil feedback was very positive. The change of scenery and smells kept students motivated throughout the day. Weaker students shone during all the tasks.
