Description
Emerging from the pandemic, I noticed that student mental health was an issue. I aimed to spend more time outdoors with my students as a way to improve physical and mental health. I thought that walking was a great way to achieve both and sought ways that walking could be integrated in the curriculum. My research led me to several different texts and many different locations around Rutland. I hope that my knowledge can help improve the mental well-being of students in my learning community.
