Classrooms Without Walls

In this episode, we will focus on outdoor education. We start by looking at the benefits of outdoor and wilderness education and then move on to discuss some specific schools that offer that kind of an experience. 

• Education writers have been talking for a long time about the importance of learning from nature while in the wilderness. 
• In nature, it's easy to find your own limitations and challenge them. Nature is a great teacher, the wilderness can build your confidence and self-esteem.
• Because students are not used to being in nature, being in the great outdoors will push their limits and resilience.
• Studies show that students that spend time outdoors are more tolerant, more empathic and less likely to harm or be harmed by others.  
• However, outdoor education isn't only about nature. They also focus on team building, leadership development, management skills and personal growth.
