Outdoor Learning Placement - John Muir Award
- imenzies
- Comments: noneTags: CPD, nature
The John Muir Award (an educational initiative of the John Muir Trust) is offering an exciting opportunity for an educator who would like to develop their knowledge and experience of outdoor learning.
The John Muir Award is an environmental award scheme focused on wild places. It aims to encourage people of all backgrounds to connect with, enjoy and care for wild places. It is a nationally recognised scheme that is already demonstrating strong links with Curriculum for Excellence.
This placement will help interpret and build on Education Scotland’s on-going investment in Outdoor Learning to meet key areas such as Health and Well-being, Global Citizenship, Sustainable Development Education, Literacy, Numeracy, Creativity and Skills for Learning, Life and Work. The placement opportunity will extend and strengthen outdoor learning approaches through the John Muir Award both nationally and in a specific Local Authority area (depending on successful candidate source).
This is a flexible opportunity that we would like to offer in partnership with a Local Authority or other relevant employer. Please note that this is not a fully funded opportunity, and would need to be supported by your current employer. The John Muir Trust can provide substantial support in kind such as office space, management, development and training.
Time commitment: Ideally the placement would be over a full academic year. Part and full time placements will be considered. Location of placement can also be flexible.
Deadline for applications: 18 May, 2012
Prospective applicants should submit a CV and covering letter.
