LandLearn Fieldwork
   

The "real world" provides new, exciting, innovative and different classrooms. Students who participate in fieldwork, contribute to Landcare and similar projects, visit farms and investigate 'real life' issues and management strategies are more likely to learn, remember and care.

Engaging students in purposeful activities and experiences in their local and other less familiar environments is challenging for teachers. LandLearn provides support for teachers to undertake fieldwork with students in primary and secondary schools.

» Fieldwork notes for teachers and worksheets for students are available for fieldtrips developed by LandLearn.
» Schools undertaking fieldtrips to investigate salinity can borrow kits of equipment.
» LandLearn staff allocate a limited number of days to accompany schools undertaking fieldwork
» Professional Development for teachers is provided in the field if possible for schools and clusters and through Subject Association Conferences.
