Reviews / Votes

This book is a significantly useful tool for teachers who are interested in teaching children about climate change and sustainability in an active way in the outdoors. There is nothing more important than creating children who are happy healthy learners with a deep respect and understanding for the natural environment and this book helps teachers to do exactly that. * Louise Edwards, Surrey Outdoor Learning and Development * Those in educational settings, from strategic leadership through to teachers, teaching assistants and parents, will be inspired and motivated with the agency and permission of providing a culture for learning outdoors this new book brings. * Matthew Dampier, Head Teacher Droxford Junior School * A pioneering resource that emphasizes the importance of embedding climate change into every lesson. Invaluable for educators seeking to create a generation of environmentally conscious and socially responsible individuals. The author team's passion for sustainability education shines through every page, inspiring teachers to make a difference in the lives of their students and equipping young minds with the tools to tackle the pressing challenges of climate change.
I wholeheartedly endorse this book and encourage educators, administrators, and policymakers to embrace this resource as a transformative tool in shaping a sustainable and resilient future for our planet. * Andrew Dowling, Schools Programme Lead for Outdoor Education, Coventry City Council * Climate change and sustainability are the defining themes of our age. We welcome this book in assisting primary school staff in understanding more about the issues involved and taking action in their schools. These books are a timely and welcome addition to help primary teachers grow their confidence and competence to undertake great teaching - outdoors! * Former headteacher and education consultant specialising in outdoor learning, @CreativeSTAR Juliet Robertson * Enough to convince even the hardened 'indoor' teacher that the outdoors has much to offer and these books give a step by step introduction of how it can be incorporated into their scheme of work along with their other planning. Overall I have been really impressed with this series. * Blogger, craigarmiger.wordpress.com Craig Armiger * The National Curriculum Outdoors books are a fantastic resource for primary schools. [...] The books enable teachers to use their whole school sites and local areas as their learning spaces, and encourage active, imaginative and engaging curriculum teaching and learning. * Education Visits Coordinator Dave Scourfield * The Sustainability and Climate Change Curriculum Outdoors is a fantastic resource for teachers and educators aiming to incorporate sustainability education effectively. With its clear guidance, adaptable lesson plans, and emphasis on active learning, it provides a solid foundation for fostering environmental awareness, consciousness, and empowering children to make a difference. * Jen Ager, Senior Lecturer in Education at the University of Cumbria * Lesson plans matched to the curriculum will inspire confidence among teachers. These days many children spend a great deal more time inside - by offering a strategy for reversing this trend and bringing children back to nature, this book is a potential game changer. * Educate Magazine *
