Beyond The Classroom

Ghent VP of Sales Kevin Johnson leads a researched-backed look at learning environments beyond the classroom. This one-hour CEU shows how outdoor learning environments improves student wellbeing and performance.

In this course (Beyond The Classroom), we’ll explore how outdoor learning environments can transform education by enhancing wellbeing, focus, and collaboration. We’ll dive into the science of biophilia and attention restoration, discuss the importance of integrating outdoor spaces into school and workplace design, and examine the risks of treating nature as an afterthought. Along the way, we’ll highlight inspiring real-world projects that show how outdoor classrooms and learning zones blur the line between indoors and out, expanding not just square footage but imagination and engagement
