A Forest School Training review that validates your hardwork

A lovely piece of Forest School Leader Training feedback and reflection taken from a participant’s portfolio on a 2024 course.

 

“I really valued how Adrian modelled the Forest School ethos and approach by immersing us within it in terms of no pressure or time limits and incidental discussions around aspects that cropped up. This reduced the overwhelming anxious feeling and made me feel like I was just gently absorbing new knowledge. This continued throughout the training process with new skills being introduced at appropriate moments and being given multiple opportunities over subsequent sessions to practice and refine these, often working with the other participants as a learning community to find success and master these new skills.”

 

I have always strived to allow participants time to embed the knowledge learned. My Forest school courses are 10 days long for this reason. yes, you can find courses online, cheaper and shorter but ask yourself what are you missing if your course is only five days or submitting videos of practise?
Do you want to be part of the learn or part of the churn?
