Teaching in a classroom can be an overstimulating environment 🧠. Especially for neurodivergent educators. 🌳 Teaching outdoors provides the sensory break needed to reset and recharge.☀️

Educators, regardless of the election outcome I am extending the same kindness and support I show my colleagues at work. I am here to support you and be an ear. I don’t judge because our job is hard. If you just want your list retweeted I can do that too.

MAKE LEARNING ON TREND! Muddy puddles turned into mud mochas, and a mudkitchen transformed into an artisan bakery serving "leafy" fries & "sandy swirl" muffins. What's your order from the food truck? 📝

@FreshAirTeacher @pracped You were brilliant! Really enjoyed it and between you and @brynll I've got loads of ideas for OutdoorLearningDay on Thursday. Might even start early tomorrow - Y4 would love being let loose with chalk... 🫣 Finished your sketchnote now - Justin is now coloured in.

[Calum @FreshAirTeacher]

@lisibo @pracped @brynll Amazing Justin looks great.

As teachers, we often feel the urge to talk a lot, but active listening is key!

By using the acronym WAIT (Why Am I Talking?), I'm more mindful of my words and provide more impactful communication.
How do you make your communication more impactful?

Hey Educators: Looking for some #outdoorlearning activity class management strategies?

🌱Set expectations together
🌱Practice through play (freeze-frame game is a fave!)
Assess risks together
🌱Grab their attention (duck whistle, anyone?)
🌱Define working areas

For children with ADHD: the outdoors can provide a much-needed sensory break. The sights, sounds, and textures of the outdoors can help regulate emotions and improve attention. #outdoorlearning #neurodiversity #childhood #education #naturetherapy #kidsactivities #ADHD
