A summary

Step back from teaching rules about practical skills, ask questions, and understand the purpose of using natural materials, tools, approaches, and techniques. Learn to trust your learners and know why tool use is valuable for building self-worth and efficacy.

This approach to practical skills works with children and adults of all stages and ages. It fits brilliantly with the ethos and principles of Forest School.

Join Dave Watson and Sarah Lawfull at the Sylva Teaching Barn for a day of discovery, reflection and creativity. Enjoy delicious refreshments and leave confidently, knowing how to use tools effectively and safely without rules.
