Detailed Description

This presentation by Chris Barlow aims to outline his involvement (as the University of Cumbria’s lead tutor in this area) with the development of a bespoke Morecambe Bay Curriculum, inspired by the prospect and potential of Eden Project North. Chris will outline and reflect upon his own experiences working alongside both school and curriculum leaders, as well as working with students opting for an environmental and experiential learning teaching specialism as well as a think tank of primary students, as they discuss, create and share Morecambe Bay Curriculum teaching ideas. Chris will also consider how a curriculum with place-based experiential and enquiry-lead learning, shaped by nature learning principles and the promotion of curiosity, encompasses many of the learning principles revered by Charlotte Mason.
