Outdoor education serves multiple purposes in schools and the wider community. Outdoor Education practices may be diverse, but the educational outcome can also be hidden from view, imbedded in documentation or the minds of teachers and leaders. This session will discuss the value of making outcomes more transparent. It will consider if a more simple narrative, potentially common across a wider range of outdoor education practices, may be a better strategic position to ensure a wider public and educational acceptance of the role of outdoor education in schooling.
