Position Statement on
Education Outside the Classroom (EOtC)
Our K-12 curriculum in B.C. encourages teachers to take classroom learning outdoors. To support health, mental health, reduced transmission of COVID-19 and deeper learning, education outside the classroom is recommended daily for all teachers and learners across the province.
Together with the Environmental Educators’ Provincial Specialist Association (EEPSA), BC Teachers’ Federation and other C2C partners, we have developed a Position Statement on Education Outside the Classroom. Learn more about why and how we recommend the Ministry of Education enhance support for teachers and learners to engage in outdoor learning.
There has never been a better time to take learning outside the classroom!
