For those who like taking children out and about, the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) research findings make welcome reading. The Teaching and Learning Toolkit from the EEF is a popular resource that analyses what works and what doesn’t. Its research evidence provides justification for leaving the classroom, taking children outside of their comfort zone and into the wild.
The EEF gives outdoor adventure learning a rating of moderate impact for moderate cost. They suggest that the evidence points to an increase in terms of learning of four months additional progress across the year and that there is evidence of an impact in relation to outcomes such as self-confidence.
