Previous edition: published as Learning outside the classroom by Simon Beames, Peter Higgins, Robbie Nicol. 2012.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Following the acclaim for 'Learning Outside the Classroom' in 2012, this latest book more deeply explains how well constructed outdoor learning experiences can benefit children and young people's academic development and health and wellbeing. This book outlines the theory and practice to enable preservice and experienced primary and secondary school teachers to systematically incorporate meaningful outdoor learning opportunities into their daily teaching activities, in a range of environments and with diverse groups of students. Six of the chapters are substantially re-worked versions of the 2012 book, two are completely re-imagined, and four are entirely new.
