This website accompanies some research I did as part of a Masters in Education. The website about that research can be found at OutdoorEducationInYork.UK
A ‘by-product’ of that research was a huge list of related websites that I trawled through so rather than do nothing with that list, I thought I’d share it and help teachers in York (specifically) in implementing and planning LiNE, and help other practitioners of Learning in the Natural Environment (generally) who don’t have time to weed through tons of crap to find good resources.
This website has 300+ useful outdoor education resource websites listed on it.
Brief findings and resources relating directly to my York-based research are here.
In case you missed it, the Natural Connections Demonstration Project was a 4 year study into LiNE and was the biggest of it’s kind in England, and was quite timely in my return to uni for a PGCE (you can read more about ‘my story’ on the OutdoorEducationInYork.UK website!).
