The idea of an Outdoor Classroom has long been a dream of mine. There have been many challenging and negative things that have come about due to the coronavirus, but as you said in your video, each challenge brings an opportunity! The virus was our opportunity to develop our space to allow for more and varied outdoor play and learning for our students to help promote their health and safety. At first, I was overwhelmed by the amount of material I found on creating an outdoor classroom. There is so much out there, but nothing that clearly, succinctly and realistically guided me through the steps to take to get the ball rolling and see it to a level where it is sustainable. Your course has done that. I now have a notebook full of ideas, plans and a ‘master guide’ to lead us through this wonderful experience! Thank you!

This course was a great ‘starter’ for helping us on the road to creating our space. I especially appreciate your recommendations for making this project sustainable. We are setting up an Advisory committee meeting for after the first of the year!
