Über dieses E-Book
Through comprehensive research and compelling narratives, Stavrianos illuminates the unique benefits of Forest Schools, particularly for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). By integrating theory with practice, the book showcases how these natural settings foster not only academic skills but also holistic development—building confidence, nurturing curiosity, and enhancing sensory skills among learners.
This book offers a critical examination of the intersection between environmental stewardship and inclusive education, advocating for a learning paradigm that is as diverse and dynamic as nature itself. Through vivid case studies and practical guidance, Stavrianos invites educators, parents, and policymakers to re-envision the educational landscape, emphasizing that the forest is not just a backdrop for learning but a vital, active participant in the educational process.
