​​At the International School of Düsseldorf, we are passionate about outdoor learning. Our outdoor learning program has been developing over the last ten years. Today, our elementary school has outdoor provision from reception to grade 5. We are the only international school in Europe to have outdoor learning developed to such an extent. Our aim is to bring together a community of educators who looking to create and develop similar programs in their own schools.

The Outdoor Learning Conference is in its third year and exists as a result of an ISD Hub of Innovation grant. We are extremely lucky to have an outdoor learning program which encompasses Reception through to Grade 5. The Conference takes place over the course of two days. On Friday, participants are able to observe our outdoor learning program in action. On Saturday, educators from ISD and elsewhere share insights on developing outdoor learning. Workshops and discussions include:
​
  • Development of space
  • Unit planning
  • Outdoor Learning and EAL
  • Maths in outdoor learning
  • Supporting research and what it says
  • Beyond ISD - sharing from other schools
  • Risk Assessment

About the ISD Outdoor Learning program
Students up to Grade 1 have scheduled Outdoor Learning time every day. In the Early Years, the focus is tied in with outdoor play. With the older grades, students have outdoor learning time every other day. In the past, we have connected with one or two of the indoor units of inquiry each year. Stand alone outdoor units of inquiry also exist. Examples of units that we connect with are: G2, Art is in Nature; G2, Structures; G3, Matter can be changed; G4, Access to natural resources, and G5, Simple Machines.

We have 5 outdoor learning spaces on our Elementary School campus. Reception, Prep and Grade 1 have their own spaces. Grades 2-5 share a space. Most recently, one of our EAL teachers who takes all of her groups outside has started to develop another area behind our gym. We do not have a copious amount of space, but we try and use it in the most effective way.
