About

Welcome to Fresh Air Teacher, my name is Calum.

I have had the privilege of working as a primary  teacher for over ten years in three different countries. After completing an MSc in Outdoor Education in 2021, I was given the fantastic opportunity to teach outdoor learning to students from Early Years Foundation Stage to year six.

I believe it is important to create greater opportunities for children to learn and discover in outdoor environments. I have first hand experience seeing the positive impact it has on my students. I therefore created Fresh Air Teacher to share my ideas and help fellow educators.
