Absolutely enlightening piece of reading material, which encourages the reader to question practices currently being implemented within the UK.
A useful source for students who wish to broaden their understanding of Forest Schools once key principles have been established through related texts by the same author.
The perspectives from around the globe were an interesting twist to what is becoming a topical area for discussion - that of forest schools. I was particularly interested the chapter on Portugal, as it was cited that insufficient time was spent outdoors here also, due to weather implications.
A very useful book that provides students with an excellent insight into the key ideas underpinning Forest Schools in a day and age when too often children are discouraged from being outside by the perceived 'risks' it poses.
This book has provided my students insight into how children learn from an international perspective. Really useful resource for Higher Level studies to compare and contrast other curriculum practices globally.
Fantastic author. Wonderful perspective on outdoor learning
'With accounts of inspiring practice and research from around the globe, this engaging book shows how Forest School and related approaches are enriching children's learning and deepening their connections with the natural world' -Tim Gill, Patron of the Forest School Association
A great text for student teachers to engage with when considering learning in alternative settings.
I found this book very interesting, having studied educational practices in other countries previously. Whilst the book is brilliant further reading material, and has given me ideas for how to teach my lessons, I wouldn't recommend it to my students.
A good companion to the other books written by the author. Clearly laid out and signposted; relevant and accessible for students
Some interesting, well written and thought provoking chapters written from different international perspectives. Very good for providing insight to teachers and students looking to enhance the educational experience of children.
This is recommended reading for the BA (Hons) CHild Development and Education. For modules inspecting Global Childhood or Different Childhoods this book is a wonderful companion. With case Studies, activities and further reading lists, this resource is invaluable when looking at outdoor education and Forest School links theoughout the globe.
This book is excellent in providing an international perspective on Forest School education.The book covers a range of interesting topics such as Aboriginal Children's Participation and Engagement. This chapter gives and overview of bush school experiences and links to theorists such as Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System Theory. This books also compliments, Forest School for All by Sara Knight.
fantastice research from around the world - and chidlrens love of natural play speaces
This book is interesting as it brings the international perspective alive and would be valuable for students wanting to extended their thoughts in this area.
Some very interesting chapters by the different authors giving a wide range of different, international perspectives.
A really helpful text to illustrate an English perspective on Forest schools.
An excellent book with a braod international perspective and examples of practice. The photos bring practice to life. It brings forest school practice to another level.
Key issues raised by the book include the different cultural constructs of childhood and education, and how these affect the provision for learning in natural environments. Students, practitioners and scholars in early childhood and wider education will find the text a useful reference. There are points for practice, lucid case studies and useful lists for further reading, which may be difficult to find elsewhere; being able to access international authors and their references in one book is useful.
Excellent textbook covering all aspects of Forest School internationally; for use on all ECE and Primary Courses. All students will access this book and tutors can use sections for teaching this popular topic
