IMPROVING STUDENT WELL-BEING THROUGH OUTDOOR CLASSROOM DESIGN
THE IMPORTANCE OF OUTDOOR CLASSROOMS • Fresh air and natural light boost mood and energy. • Reduced noise and sensory overload. • Greater opportunities for collaboration and creativity. • Promote movement, exploration, and physical activity.
KEY DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR WELL-BEING • A well-designed outdoor classroom supports comfort, engagement, and learning continuity. • Use grass, trees, logs, gardens, and water features. • Accommodate both individual and group learning. • Install canopies, pergolas, or natural tree cover. • Helps maintain structure and focus.
INTEGRATING CURRICULUM AND ACTIVITIES • Outdoor classrooms work best when fully integrated into daily teaching. • Literacy: Nature journaling, poetry inspired by surroundings. • Art: Leaf printing, outdoor murals, natural sculptures
CONCLUSION Outdoor classroom design is more than a trend—it's a transformative approach to student well-being. By blending natural environments with purposeful learning, schools can foster calm, creativity, and curiosity in every student.
