Training
I created and delivered continuous professional development training courses for Kent County Council’s Country Parks team from 2008 – 2013 and now offer workshops at venues across Kent.
Courses have included:
- The environment as a teaching resource
- Exploring the outdoors for early years
- Literacy outdoors for Key stages 1&2
- Art naturally
- Setting up a wildlife area
- Forest School taster days
- An introduction to Forest School
- Nest steps in Forest School
- Forest School games
- Dates for up and coming training programmes will be released shortly.
The next training session is: Review and reflection activities and resources for Forest School.
This course will provide you with lots of creative and fun evaluation activities which can be used to evaluate your Forest School or outdoor learning sessions.
I have designed and delivered staff development training for nurseries, primary and secondary schools and organisations across Kent including twilight sessions for the National Child-Minding Association.
My training sessions are for schools, education providers, nurseries and outdoor learning practitioners who are looking to develop their outdoor learning provision.
I enjoy working with teachers, teaching assistants, nursery staff, students, site-based staff and education/countryside staff who are looking to develop their understanding and skills of working with children outdoors.
