My Outdoor Education Pedagogy

Students learn best by mirroring emotions and actions. If the tour leader is excited about everyday applied science to improve the environment, then students will be too. A teacher who can demonstrate passion for the subject can become a source of lifelong inspiration for the student. That's my pedagogy. When students travel in my group either they are already excited about science or by the end of the trip they begin to see that the physics, chemistry and mathematics they are learning in the school is not simply theoretical or formula based but through museums, demonstrations in nature and through commentary while visiting historic monuments, they learn that we live and breathe the results of these subjects every day.
