outdoors increases student<br />
motivation. Shocker! A study<br />
involving over 300 students<br />
concluded that offering more<br />
outdoor instruction at the lower<br />
secondary level improves learning.<br />
Professors at the Technical University<br />
of Munich (TUM) spent two<br />

planet could have confirmed inside<br />
two minutes, before publishing it in<br />
the journal Frontiers in Psychology.<br />
So if you’re having trouble<br />
getting the head to sign off your<br />
next class excursion pull this study<br />
out of the hat and put the principle<br />
in their place once and for all.<br />
