TEACHERS IN TRAINING

We recently hosted a visit by Aberdeen University Education students. The Ranger Service introduced the students to some aspects of working with pupils outdoors: the benefits, and some of the practicalities. Click on pix to enlarge.
This is now becoming more relevant because of the forthcoming 'curriculum for excellence' in Scottish schools, which will promote the outdoor environment as a great place to learn.
We were lucky to have input from Alison Hammerton, from Learning Teaching Scotland. Alison is working in the Cairngorms National Park, helping teachers and site providers to link up.
