The Big Picture • Manifesto for Learning Outside the Classroom • Website www.lotc.org.uk

“All young people should experience learning outside the classroom and its benefits, not as a bolt-on to learning but as a central aspect of the learning experience, the curriculum and the courses they are engaged with.”

A Different View

Page 5: Quality Learning Outside the Classroom

Workshop aims;1. Provide a rationale for going out as part of

geography selling the subject as the best medium for

delivering certain aspects of quality LOTC

2. Define what are the indicators of quality LOTC

3. Provide some ideas on how to develop that quality

Page 6: Quality Learning Outside the Classroom

WHY GEOGRAPHY? LOTC will involve ‘selling’ the subject;

Senior Management Colleagues Participants (e.g. students) Parents (especially if there is a cost

involved)

What does geography offer LOTC that other subjects do not

OR cannot?

In small groups...

You have about 3 minutes!

Some of our ideasIdeas from a housing estateIntroduction• Pupils consider the characteristic features of the houses.

– Style, age and layout of the area? – What age are the buildings? – Why did people come here?

• Do we all like the same things? – How do we personalise our homes?

Task• Pupils investigate, by observation, the ways in which houses basically

similar in design, are given an individual ‘makeover’

Some of our ideasCloning of a High StreetIntroduction• Based upon research undertaken by New Economics Foundation (

www.neweconomics.org) into the observation that British ‘High Streets’ are becoming clones of each other by offering the same range of services through national chain stores to the detriment of local independent stores.

Task• Repeat NEF original survey• Where in the High Street independent and chain stores are located?• Are independent stores located in particular areas?• Through questionnaires, what attracts people to chain/independent

retailers?• How do independent retailers differentiate themselves from chain stores?

Do they ‘market’ their independent status?
