Outdoor learning often stalls not because leaders lack belief, but because schools lack shared structures for safety, inclusion, voice, and response when things get messy outside. This interactive workshop introduces a rights-informed approach that helps leaders move from compliance-based control toward practical structures that support outdoor learning in real school contexts. Drawing on the Web of Rights, Dr. McCuaig will use cases connected to play, movement, boundaries, consent, and shared space to help participants think through common tensions such as noise, active play, safety, belonging, and equitable participation. Leaders will leave with concrete planning prompts, discussion structures, and implementation moves they can use to strengthen staff confidence, reduce friction, and build more inclusive outdoor learning conditions across classrooms and schools.
