What is Learning Outside the Classroom?

Council for Learning Outside the Classroom

• Getting children and young people out and about

• Providing them with a variety of

challenging and exciting

experiences to help them learn

We define Learning Outside the Classroom as:“The use of places other than the classroom for

teaching & learning.”

Why is LOtC a good thing?

Council for Learning Outside the Classroom

• There is clear evidence to show the benefits of Learning Outside the Classroom

• It is not only about what we learn but importantly how & where we learn

• It is about choosing the best place for impactful learning:– Not just in the classroom…but– Beyond the classroom door– Beyond the school gate

Ofsted supports LOtC

Council for Learning Outside the Classroom

• Getting out and about should be a vital part of every child’s school life and for many people educational visits are among their fondest and most vivid childhood memories

• A classroom environment doesn’t always provide young people with the real world experiences they need

• Memorable activities lead to memorable learning

“When planned and implemented well, learning outside the classroom contributed significantly to raising standards & improving pupils’ personal, social & emotional development.”

Learning outside the classroom: How far should you go? Ofsted Report (October 2008)

A fun day out?

‘The more LOtC is planned and integrated, the more beneficial it is.’

Ofsted

Learning Outside the Classroom: How Far Should You Go? (2008)

Page 9: Using Learning Outside the Classroom to become “Outstanding” Beth Gardner, Chief Executive Council for Learning Outside the Classroom

Think about the whole curriculum

• Don’t think about individual lessons or even individual topics.

- What would happen if you started with a clean slate?

• What do you want your pupils to achieve?• How can LOtC help with that?• Talk to the providers about learning outcomes• Would this lesson be better taught

outside the classroom?• Think creatively

Page 10: Using Learning Outside the Classroom to become “Outstanding” Beth Gardner, Chief Executive Council for Learning Outside the Classroom

Countless opportunities exist for simple and inexpensive

LOtC in your school grounds and local communityThink about:• Mathematical characteristics of buildings or natural features:

shapes, angles, patterns, measuring, numbering

• Creative spaces: role play, historical re-enactments or inspiration for creative writing

• Historical features• Geographical features:

geology, lie of the land, signage, maps, directions

• Spaces where temporary outdoor classrooms could be set up• Use your senses:

sight, sound, smell, touch to identify opportunities

Identify the opportunities

The Council for Learning Outside the Classroom

We believe that every

young person should experience the

world beyond the classroom as an

essential part of learning and personal

development, whatever their age,

ability or circumstances.
