Outdoor Education
Posted by Sharon on June 17th, 2008
Yesterday I visited Liz Brookes, Principal Teacher of Outdoor Education within East Lothian Council. The reason for my visit was that Liz had very kindly offered to talk to me about the various qualifications I would need in order to become GTC recognised as a Teacher of Outdoor Education.
We are very lucky in East Lothian as we have a very good and busy Outdoor Education Team who not only provide lots of opportunities for our pupils but also provide a wide variety of staff development opportunities. I intend to book onto various courses over the coming months in order to build up my qualifications. In addition, Liz is also allowing me to help the team out during my spare time to build up my experience.
I would like to thank Liz for taking the time to talk to me.

Hi Sharon,
If you really want to know how to conduct outdoor Education in order to become a GTC recognized teacher. I would like to recommend a book which I use often before any session No props. I’m a teacher, and I have been using Mark’s book for years and the kids
have loved every activity I try. I strongly recommend you to try this book for outdoor activities.
