Excerpt: Forest schools are a type of outdoor education in which school children visit forests, learning personal, social and technical skills. It has been defined as "an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment".. Forest schools use the woods and forests as a means to build independence and self-esteem in school-age children. Topics include the natural environment, for example the role of trees in society, the complex ecosystem supported by a wilderness, and recognition of specific plants and animals. However, the personal skills are considered highly valuable, such as teamwork and problem solving. The woodland environment may be used to learn about more abstract concepts such as mathematics and communication. Forest schools are also called nature schools. Schedules within forest schools vary, but a typical approach is to take school children to woodland for once a week, for perhaps 10 weeks. The duration and frequency of visits influences the degree of outcome; more time spent in forest schools brings greater benefits.

Product Description
In-service and teacher training programmes are based on policies and practices built by individuals and groups. This book examines teacher education and its relationship with power and society, specifically power relations involving social class, racial/ethnic and gender issues evident in living environments, religious institutions and professional associations and unions. The contributions in this book consider various aspects of education policy formation, focusing on teacher education and including questions on the location of teacher education programmes, their funding, the knowledge that students gain, the curriculum content and evaluation procedures employed in teacher education programmes. The effect of educational policy formation on teachers is considered, together with an exploration of the political dimension on potential and actual teachers. This leads to an inquiry into the process through which students on teacher education programmes acquire or develop their political identities and orientations which may influence their future actions as teachers. Comparative case studies highlight the centrality of politics in teacher education.These case studies are worldwide and include Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. ...
