Overview

Eco-Friendly Forest Schooling: Techniques and Best Practices

Imagine a classroom without walls, where the sky is the limit and nature is the textbook. Welcome to the world of Forest Schooling, a pedagogical movement that embraces the great outdoors as the optimal learning environment. Here, children not only learn about the world around them but also cultivate a deep connection with nature, shaping them into environmentally-conscious citizens.

Why Forest Schooling is Essential in Today's World

Our world is rapidly changing, and with urbanization on the rise, our connection to nature is diminishing. Research has shown:

  • Children spend an average of 7 hours a day on screens and only 4-7 minutes of unstructured play outside.
  • Forest Schooling boosts mental well-being. According to a study, children who experience nature regularly exhibit 55% increased mental clarity and 50% reduction in symptoms of depression.
  • Children involved in Forest Schooling activities have shown a 28% increase in physical activity levels compared to their urban counterparts.

These trends underline the importance of Forest Schooling, emphasizing its potential in reversing the nature-deficit disorder and fostering holistic child development.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
