If direct instruction is considered by some to be antiquated, why is it used by tutors in a tutoring industry that is thriving? But then again, tutoring occurs in small groups or one to one. Does that suggest something about class sizes? And ... could reduced class sizes reduce teacher workload? Drrrr! And encourage more teachers to stay teaching? But then, dollars would have to go into building classrooms rather than other facilities ... even at expensive private schools. That is if private school parents really cared about learning rather than the old boy network.

On average, schools allow 15min in the morning and afternoon for recess, with a 30min lunch recess. 1 hour of time outside the four walls of their classroom, is not enough. Exploring and embracing the outdoors, is crucial to a child's emotional, physical, and social development. Here I look at the many benefits associated with outdoor education, as well as some simple ways to get started both at school and with home learning. We need to do better, especially when studies show just how critical this time is for our young people. How much time do children at your school get to be outside? Do they get any time to actually explore and learn outdoors? Do you bring them outside for story time, or independent reading? I'd love to hear what your children get to do! #outdooreducation #outdoors #outdoorlearning #children #schools #getoutside #learning #explore #freshair #beyondthefourwalls #play #playbasedlearning #lifeskills #nature
