Essential Guide to Forest School and Nature Pedagogy
Price includes GST
A 'must have' book as you explore Nature Pedagogy for yourself and children of all ages.
I am continuously looking to further my own professional learning, purchased the book expecting it not to be relevant to Australia and New Zealand, BUT there is so much wonderful information in this chunky 406 page book I can use anywhere. Minor adjustments can be made to the section on plants with nature lovers and the knowledge of our Indigenous Elders.
This book is a complete guide to Forest School provision and Nature Pedagogy and it examines the models, methods, worldviews and values that underpin teaching in nature.
Cree and Robb show how a robust Nature Pedagogy can support learning, behaviour, and physical and emotional wellbeing, and, importantly, a deeper relationship with the natural world. They offer an overview of what a Forest School programme could look like through the year.
The Essential Guide to Forest School and Nature Pedagogy provides ‘real-life’ examples from a variety of contexts, sample session plans and detailed guidance on using language, crafting and working with the natural world. This accessible resource guides readers along the Forest School path, covering topics such as: the history of nature education; our sensory system in nature; Forest School ethos and worldview and playing and crafting in the natural world.
Guiding practitioners through planning for a programme, including taking care of a woodland site and preparing all the essential policies and procedures for working with groups and nature, this book is written by dedicated Forest School and nature education experts and is essential reading for settings, schools, youth groups, families and anyone working with children and young people.
