Learning Outside-In

Exploring how qualities of out-of-school learning experiences impact student well-being.

The Learning Outside-In project at Project Zero’s Designing Learning Places (DLP) Lab aims to examine how outdoor learning experiences support students’ inner states of well-being. During the pandemic some schools developed out-of-school learning experiences that offered interesting opportunities to connect with nature, know their neighborhoods, and make their learning visible to others in their community.  These experiences, coupled with research on the impact nature and neighborhoods have on well-being, point educators to consider a provocative pathway forward:  restoring and developing students’ well-being may be best done by engaging learners in out-of-school pedagogical places in their communities.    

How do the qualities of out-of-school learning experiences support student learning and well-being?
